Re: Question

A default has already been entered against you. If a default has been entered, that means that the court has been satisfied with a proof of service. Papers do not have to be served on you personally. They can be left at your home with someone who lives there, or they can be given to you personally. Under certain circumstances, service can also be perfected via other means.

So, you have been defaulted--that is you have by default accepted all the allegations made against you. Now at prove up, the only question is how much you owe.

If you dispute the service of process, you must get to court and challenge it. If you want to fight the nature and extent of damages, you must appear and defend yourself--either personally or through counsel.

If you do not do that, a judgment will be entered against you. and then that judgment can be enforced and everything you owe will be at stake and fair game in the collection process.

The above is a general overview of what can happen. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. '

I hope this helps,
