Do I Have good case to vacate a judgement

I was sued in court.
The attorney, put a hold on my checking account.
I knew nothing about the precedings
The case type was "Registration of Administrative Judgement"

Date of service reads defendants-- myself and my bank
1/14/09--Registrations of Administrative Judgement
1/14/09-- Cause Disposed Upon Filing--City of Chicago
1/30/09--Citation to Discover Assets Issued--South Shore Bank

(The weird thing is, it has Activity date as 1/30/2009, below where it has the court room, and date it has a date of 2/26/2009) Shouldn't those be the same date, as activity date?)

Next 2/26/2009---Strike from the Call--Allowed--participant(myself)

That's all it shows for this case.
A Hold has been put on my checking account.

I have read your posting but am uncertain as to why or on what grounds you believe you have grounds to vacate. As long as they proved to the court that they followed the law in notification procedures, you cannot ask for the judgement to be vacated.

RE: Vacate judgement

Thanks for your reply

The thing is I was never notified, I only found out that it was
a freeze on my account when I went to my bank.

I have lived at my present address since 2000, and I receive social security,
that goes into my account, so it would not be that hard to find me. But I received no notification
another question is, the last activity on this case, was I was stricken from call. Does that mean that I didn't need to be there to defend myself.

As I said, most jurisdictions have laws requiring certain steps during the process serving phase.
I do not know what those steps are in your jurisdiction. But you could attempt to verify they were followed. If not, you would have grounds for vacating or dismissing the charges. Do they have to knock on your front door? Probably not.

Sticken from call generally means you did not show up and therefore they assume your response is compliance. It doesn't mean you CANNOT show up and offer a defense.
