Our business received a summons back in July from a WA company. The summons stated that I must respond to the Complaint by stating my defense in writing, and serving a copy upon the undersigned attorney for the Plaintiff. I did that, received a call sometime after from the Plaintiff to discuss my response. Yesterday I received a Notice of Default Judgment. I called the court and they informed me that I did not file written response to the court. No where in the summons was it stated or even implied that I had to file anything with the courts. What are my options now?
At this point, you will have to appeal the entry of summary judgment. If the judgement was within the last 10 days you can file a motion to reconsider, if more than 10 days, you will have to file a request to appeal to the higher court.
