IMPORTANT NOTICE. You are in default because you have failed to enter a written appearance personally or by attorney and file in writing with the Court your defenses or objections to the claims set forth against you.

The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure set forth very specific requirements when filing a complaint. For example, the complaint must contain the original or a copy of the contract or instrument with the confession of judgment language along with the other party's signature to the contract.

You send this notice 10 days in advance when you intend to take judgment by default upon an opposing party due to that party's failure to file an answer or preliminary objections to the complaint within the required time frame.

UNLESS YOU ACT WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE, A JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST YOU WITHOUT A HEARING AND YOU MAY LOSE YOUR RIGHT TO SUE THE DEFENDANT AND THEREBY LOSE PROPERTY OR OTHER IMPORTANT RIGHTS.

Rule 236 governs the notice to be given by the prothonotary of the entry of an order or judgment.

If you wish to defend, you must enter a written appearance personally or by attorney and file your defenses or objections in writing with the court.
