FAQ
A default prove up hearing occurs when the defendant has failed to respond to the plaintiff's complaint within the specified time frame. As a result, the defendant is considered to be in default, and the hearing is held to determine the appropriate judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
On any application for judgment by default, the applicant shall file proof of service of the summons and the complaint, or a summons and notice served pursuant to subdivision (b) of rule 305 or subdivision (a) of rule 316 of this chapter, and proof of the facts constituting the claim, the default and the amount due, ...
You have four main options to deal with a default judgment: Accept the judgment. Settle the judgment for less. Challenge the judgment. Pursue debt relief.
Most Courts, including California, put strict time limits on when that motion may be filed (six months from entry of default in California though this time limit may be altered based on various factors) and the longer the period of time from entry of default, the harder it is to have the Court remove it.
The defendant must submit to the clerk the necessary papers and the clerk enters a judgment for costs (CPLR 3215(a); see Plaintiff's Default During the Litigation: Necessary Papers). The defendant must apply to the clerk for a default judgment within one year of the plaintiff's default (CPLR 3215(a)).
If you didn't get the papers that started the lawsuit (you weren't served) or you couldn't respond for a really good reason, like you were in the hospital or serving in the military, you may be able to cancel the default judgment and defend yourself.

If you do not think the default judgment was appropriately entered against you, you must file a motion with the court asking the judge to “set aside” (void or nullify) the judgment. If the judge grants your motion, the case starts back up again.
