If a Default Judgment Is Entered, Act Fast If a default judgment has been entered against you, you must act quickly to open the judgment, generally within ten (10) days of its entry, or establish a defect on the face of the record to warrant a Court striking the judgment.
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.
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.
The most common ways you may find out that there are outstanding judgements against you in one of the following ways: letter in the mail or phone call from the collection attorneys; garnishee notice from your payroll department; freeze on your bank account; or.
When a default is entered, the party who requested the entry of default must obtain a default judgment against the defaulting party within 45 days after the default was entered, unless the court has granted an extension of time.
