After a default judgment, the Plaintiff will try to collect the money you owe. The Plaintiff may be able to take money from your paycheck or bank account and put a lien on your property.
You can ask to cancel, or ?set aside? a default judgment. You have to have a good reason for not responding in 30 days. If the judgment is canceled, you'll get a chance to answer.
You may be able to negotiate a settlement with the debt collector to allow you to pay off the judgment under better terms. In Limited Civil cases (cases for $25,000 or less), if the other side will not agree to a payment plan, you can ask the judge to order a payment plan. This requires filing a motion.
The motion for default judgment and proposed default judgment are entered on the docket. From the Clerk: The plaintiff should make a written request for the clerk to enter a default judgment, and provide the clerk with an affidavit of the amount owed by the defendant and a proposed clerk's default judgment.
A default judgment is a judgment entered in the trial court when a defendant hasn't filed a response in a timely manner. For a response to be timely, it must be made by 10 a.m. on the Monday following the expiration of 20 days after the date the defendant was served with the citation and petition.
