I was recently made aware of a 10 1/2 year old default judgment that had been docketed against me (never filed with court clerk). I successfully had it vacated but was ordered to answer the original complaint which dated back to 2007. After answer, I requested discovery from the law firm (collection agency) handling the case now, which is different from the firm that was handling the case in 2007 on behalf of the Judgment creditor. I received instead a stipulation discontinuing action with prejudice. Can I be sued again for this matter by this firm or any other firm that may purchase this time barred and stale debt?
