Question: How can I challenge a default judgment that was issued against me due to an alleged failure to appear in court, especially when I was not aware of the court proceedings or the judgment until my bank account was restrained?
Answer: In a case where a default judgment was obtained without the defendant's knowledge, the suggested steps were to contact the court to request a copy of the judgment and the statement of claim, verify the address used for service, and inquire about the possibility of "vacating the judgment" due to lack of proper service notification.
