Good afternoon,

In order to obtain a default judgment, the bank would have had to have shown some documentation indicating that service had been effected.

Absolutely, you should file a Motion to Set Aside the Judgment for failure of service. You should go to the court, pull the file and see what sort of return of service document was filed to indicate proper service. It could have been served on the wrong address, the wrong person or someone could have simply lied about the service having been accomplished.

The motion, while fairly straight forward, is better suited to be prepared by an attorney. If you must do it on your own, go to the county law library where you live and look in the set of books known as Law and Motion. The librarian will be able to help you. The law and motion set will have a format you can use, as well as suggest what types of allegations you will need to set forth, and prove, to win your motion.

I wish you the very best in your search for justice.

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately, the law books in Colorado will probably be just different enough that they won't be useful.

Additionally, someone will have to make an appearance at the Motion when it is heard in court.

Realistically, You either are going to have to retain an attorney in California to look into the matter for you--or you need to travel there to deal with all of this. The California courts are very generous with vacating default judgments, but you will have to put effort, and likely some money, forth to get to that point.

If you are near to a Law School, it is possible that they might have the Law and Motion books for California. That is my only other suggestion as far as you obtaining help locally.

I wish you the best.
