Orders of default judgment (aka judgment in default) are obtained in two different ways: by using an administrative process – a Request - judgment is entered by a court officer; or. by filing an application for Judgment in Default, with a Form N244 Application Notice.
It is important to note that a default judgment does always mean an informal eviction occurred. Under Virginia state law, there is an automatic ruling for the landlord anytime a tenant does not appear in court.
Is a Default Judgment a Final Judgment? A default judgment is a final judgment because it is a decision on the merits (as it was properly heard). Therefore, if a party disagrees, they must file an appeal or a motion to reconsider. The defaulting party may obtain a reverse judgment if they appeal the decision.

Allowing a default judgment to be entered against you is generally a bad idea. It subjects you to the possibility that your wages and bank account might be garnished. While seizure of property to satisfy a judgment is rare, it is at least theoretically possible.
