Corporations may be unable to represent themselves in court. If the defendants
include a corporation, the corporation must appear through an attorney if it intends to
challenge the judgment.
You may receive other papers and notices regarding the judgment. Those other
papers do not negate or override this Notice. Likewise, this Notice is not intended to and
does not negate any of the notices or information obtained in other papers that may be
served upon you.
We reiterate that you are required to act promptly if you wish to seek relief from
the judgment. Under certain circumstances, you have only thirty (30) days in which to
file a petition after papers are served on you. Even if the thirty (30) day rule does not
apply, you must act promptly in order to protect your interest. Failing to act in a timely
manner will render you unable to challenge the judgment at a later time.
If you were incorrectly identified and judgment was entered against you in
error you may be entitled to collect cost and reasonable attorney's fees as
determined by the Court.

Rule 2959 Striking off or Oc~ening Judgment Pleadings Procedure.
(a)(1) Relief from judgment by confession shall be sought by petition. Except as provided
in subparagraph (2), all grounds for relief whether to strike off the judgment or to open
judgment must be asserted in a single petition. The petition may be filed in the county in
which the judgment was originally entered, in any county to which the judgment has been
transferred or in any other county in which the sheriff received a writ of execution directed
to the sheriff to enforce the judgment.
(2) The ground that the waiver of the due process rights of notice and hearing was not
voluntary, intelligent and knowing shall be raised only
(i) in support of a further request for a stay of execution where the court has not
stayed execution despite the timely filing of a petition for relief from the judgment
and the presentation of prima facie evidence of a defense; and
(ii) as provided by Rule 2958.3 or Rule 2973.3
(3) If written notice is served upon the petitioner pursuant to Rule 2956.1(c)(2) or Rule
2973.1 {c), the petition shall be filed within thirty days after such service. Unless the
defendant can demonstrate that there were compelling reasons for the delay, a petition not
timely filed shall be denied.
(b) If the petition states prima facie grounds for relief the court shall issue a rule to show
cause and may grant a stay of proceedings. After being served with a copy of the petition
the plaintiff shall file an answer on or before the return day of the rule. The return day of
the rule shall be fixed by the court by local rule or special order.
(c) A party waives all defense and objections which are not in the petition or answer.
(d) The petition and rule to show cause and the answer shall be served as provided in
Rule 440.
(e) The court shall dispose of the rule on petition and answer, and on any testimony,
depositions, admissions and other evidence. The court for cause shown may stay
proceedings on the petition insofar as it seeks to open the judgment pending deposition of
the application to strike off the judgment. If the evidence is produced which in a jury trial
would require the issues to be submitted to the jury the court shall open the judgment.
(f) The lien of the judgment or of any levy or attachment shall be preserved while the
proceedings to strike off or open the judgment are pending..
(g)(1) A judgment shall not be stricken or opened because of a creditor's failure to
provide a debtor with instructions imposed by an existing statute, if any, regarding
procedures to follow to strike a judgment or regarding any rights available to an incorrectly
identified debtor.
(2) Subdivision (g)(1) shall apply to (1) judgments entered prior to the effective date of
subdivision (g) which have not been stricken or opened as of the effective date and (2)
~ ~4 ~
judgments entered on or after the effective date.
