How can I get a debt buyer to drop a judgement against me that was entered in 2007 but I only became aware of now, for a debt I do not recognize?

More details to this question:
Hi, I just became aware that on August 25, 2016, there was an action taken by a debt buyer because of a judgment entered on 3/5/07 and as a result, they were able to freeze funds from my bank account. I don't recognize this debt and was never served papers. I filed an Order to Show Cause this morning and was advised I'd need to appear in court on Oct 11. I had no idea this was going on until my own bank sent me the legal paperwork, and am concerned this will adversely affect my credit score as well.

You did the right thing so far, but you are going to have to have more proof at the hearing. Get the file, and be prepared to show that you were not served by showing where you really lived. Get the file from the court.
