FAQ
Default judgment is a binding judgment in favor of either party based on some failure to take action by the other party. Most often, it is a judgment in favor of a plaintiff when the defendant has not responded to a summons or has failed to appear before a court of law. The failure to take action is the default.
Default judgments happen when you don't respond to a lawsuit often from a debt collector and a judge resolves the case without hearing your side.Next up could be wage garnishment or a bank account levy, which allows a creditor to remove money from your bank accounts to repay the debt.
A default judgment means that the court has decided that you owe money. This a result of the person suing you in small claims court and you failed to appear at the hearing.
After you notify the defendant of the judgment, you can begin to enforce the judgment. Your judgment might be for money, repossession, eviction, foreclosure, or any number of things. In any case, your rights at this point would be the same as if you had gone to trial and won.
First, you can ask the court to set aside the default judgment and give you an opportunity to contest it. Next, you can settle the debt with the debt buyer for an amount less than what the default judgment is for. And finally you can eliminate the default judgment completely by filing for bankruptcy.
