Louisiana Request To Cancel Judgment By Prescription is a legal document used to request the cancellation of a judgment against an individual or business. A judgment by prescription is an action taken by a court to enforce a debt owed when the debtor does not respond to the court’s order. If the court grants the request, the judgment is canceled and the debtor is no longer liable for the debt. There are two types of Louisiana Request To Cancel Judgment By Prescription: Request to Vacate Judgment Based on Prescription and Request to Set Aside Judgment Based on Prescription. The first type of request is used when the judgment was entered more than ten years ago and the debtor does not believe they are liable for the debt. The second type of request is used when the judgment was entered more than ten years ago, the debtor has evidence showing they are not liable for the debt, and the judgment was entered due to a mistake or error.
