Hello, I am hoping for some direction in something very serious. My family had a short sale 3 years ago and part of the settlement was a judgement affidavit presented to me saying that 2 judgements were not mine. At the time I did not recognize the name or amount. We have had a lot of debt trouble and honestly at the time we were overwhelmed. There is no doubt I should have known but I can't fix this now.
Now we were hoping to recover and possibly try to buy a small home. On my records check today at the courthouse to learn more about my debt, I see that the affidavit I signed is wrong. From what I read I have no defense. The judgements were mine.
While no one at the moment is coming after me, I am in complete shock and realize the heaviness of the situation. This appears to be a class 5 felony with jail time. Please offer some guidance on how to deal with this. I feel like my life is over.
