Can a default judgment affect my credit score or ability to obtain future financing? Yes, a default judgment may negatively affect your credit score, and will be a lien on all of your real estate. Buying and selling real estate will be negatively affected by the entry of a default judgment.
What is a Motion for Default Judgment? Imagine you've taken someone to court, but they've ignored all proceedings. A motion for default judgment allows you to ask the court to automatically decide in your favor due to the other party's lack of response or action.
In this process, a judge (rather than a clerk) determines how much the plaintiff can collect after reviewing the amount requested by the plaintiff, which may require a court hearing. Once the default prove-up process is finished and a ruling by the judge is provided, the case is complete.
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.
Depending on whether your pleading was verified, or not, this can be as quick as a few days in cases where the clerk can enter default, or as long as a few weeks in the event a hearing is necessary in order to secure a default judgment.

If a defendant has failed to timely file an answer, to appear when summoned, or otherwise fail to plead, the plaintiff may file a request for a default judgment in their favor. If a plaintiff wishes to seek entry of a default judgment, an Application for Entry of Default by Clerk must first be filed.
Once the judgment is set aside, the case starts up again. If you do not file an answer with the court to defend against plaintiff's complaint, you could again be defaulted and another default judgment could be entered against you.
