HI, after filing a default in motion and the court clerk approve it, what's the next step? what is the notice of hearing with self-stamped envelopes?

@johnnykurplutzo6789 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the information. The most disturbing thing about my case is that my attorney didn't show up to the exam hearing after I won default judgment. That's what I got after paying an attorney a flat upfront fee. Luckily the debtor didn't show either. Now I have to revive a dormant judgement then on to the next step

I kind of have a unique case. I was hit by a red light runner on July 4th of 2020, the driver at fault who ran the red light didn't not have auto insurance but because they are native American driving on reservation (I live in Arizona) they are not required to have auto insurance while on the reservation. I do have uninsured motorist claim and have received money from that but was seeking money from the driver for pain and suffering and other damages caused. I suffered a broken femur in result of the accident. We are scheduled for a hearing for default judgment and was wondering if I can set the amount I wish to receive for this case or does the judge set the amount owed to me.

Do I have to serve them again with this default to give them another chance to reply or just check the box that they are not entitled because they did not file or respond to summons? If I do notify, should I serve by certified mail?

Thanks for your question, Mona. After entry of a default order you need to "immediately" mail notice of the default Judgment to the address at which the defaulted party was served. The notice need not be sent by certified mail. - Kevin O'Flaherty

I am a Plaintff, Pro Se litigant, I served the attorney, as requested, and he did not respond within thirty days. He responded 5 days late. I filed An affidavit of service and then I filed a default judgment along with other required documents. What motions can he file to contest my default judgment? thanks

Is not showing up because you put it in your calendar wrong a reason to grant this application? The lawyer for my defendant didn't show up and I was awarded judgement. He Called me 2 days later leaving a voice-mail saying he mis-calendarized it and will be filing an application to set aside. I did not motion for a default. I was asked to plead my case after 10-15 minutes passed to allow defense to call in, they did not and I was awarded the amount. As far I'm concerned, it was his responsibility to show up after being notified of the date and time for court.

What if the person was served by publication?

@user3657 2 жыл бұрын

What if you filed an answer, you made payment to the court, have receipts, and mailed a copy to the plaintiff certified mail. But yet the plaintiff still has requested default judgment?? I believe I might of filed the paperwork incorrectly, meaning I went to the clerk for payment. Someone told me I should have gone to the deputy clerk. The clerk took my $175 payment, paperwork and just told me I'll get something in the mail. This was June 21. The plaintiff filed the motion for default on June 22, I received it today 29th :(

Child Support Enforcement sent a letter stating I owe arrears. I challenged it and Demanded validation of debt and asked to inspect the records..They didn't produce anything at all, and they are now default. What do i do now? File motion to dismiss or to vacate the order? And if so, How and with who? Title IV-D hearings/court and the entire CSEA Administrative not Judicial. With the expedited court process, they can only make summary decisions, not final orders. Only a judge can make a final order. I've never been in front of a real judge and I never contracted with them. Title IV-D is shady and dosent follow the rules
