What to do if entered into a default judgment with the understanding that I needed to make monthly payments of any amount but today I recieved an order to seize property and they took my car?

Regarding my re-payments, the other lawyer did not enter a dollar amount in. I have been making payments each month for the last 4 months as we agreed to. now on the form left it only shows one payment made. What should I do? Can I get my car back? I do have reciepts to prove I have been making the payments.

Based upon what you have written about you need to first call the attorney for the plaintiff about the apparent mistake made on the settlement agreement and send him or her copies of all payments that you have made per the agreement in an attempt to remedy the problem.

If the problem is not remedied to your satisfaction in the next week or so, you need to consult with a consumer law attorney to assist you in clearing up the problem where a motion to the court to address the problem may be your recourse.
