Hi all,
It's been quite a while since I posted here, but I need some advice and was hoping someone here might have some wise words.
I've just undergone an international credit check for a job and it turned up a court judgement against me for a few thousand dollars in Western Australia, where I lived. I have almost no information at this point other than the name of the company and the date and amount of the judgement. This may prevent me getting a job.
The date was in 2014, I left Aus in 2012 so had no idea this was going on. The company claiming the debt is now gone as well, it went into receivership last year. I had never had any dealings with them whatsoever (they rented commercial and mining vehicles, I'm a computer programmer)
Does anyone know how I can challenge this and get it removed or overturned? Do I need a lawyer or financial advisor? Any recommendations?
All I can think of to do.is call the legal aid WA hotline when it opens, and maybe try contacting the receivers, a legal firm in QLD.
Halp...
