How Do I Obtain a Judgment Against a Defaulted Promissory Note?

There is no simple form a person can file to obtain a judgment against a promissory note in which a party has defaulted. Obtaining a judgment is not “automatic”; a judgment is a court proceeding that allows the defaulting party to reply and to defend himself.

You may file a complaint or petition with your local court to obtain a judgment on a defaulted promissory note, but you must select the proper court based on jurisdiction and the appropriate local and state laws.

As such, we suggest you find a qualified local attorney to help with such a filing, as it can be complex. You can find for FREE a qualified local attorney at Standard Legal’s Attorney Find page.
