Got Default - Should I Pursue Judgement?
I bought two houses from a man three years ago on an OWC basis. The houses were grant deeded to me. I went to refinance them and found $18,000 of back payments were not made and another $12,000 in Mechanics Leins. I negotiated and payed off all leins and refinanced the properties.
I sued the seller. I got a "Default" - the Judge has asked the damages be itemized and for a copy of the Contract. The contract was hand written and was not admitted to the court. The seller already has $350,000 in judgements on him. I fired my attorney who has cost me $3,000 to get to this point.
The question: Should I go ahead and hire another attorney to get a Judgement? This has been a 3 year ordeal and this IS the short condensed version, but I do n ot want to do anything else that may be stupid. I am leaning twards dismissing the matter; any input or dangers someone in my shoes might face?
Thanks,
Jason in CA
