I owe about €7500
This is a circuit court matter. Civil bill was issued. I entered an appearance. I did not enter a defence.
The plaintiffs solicitors are stating that unless I enter a defence, they will proceed to obtain default judgement.
Questions:
are default judgements dealt with by the circuit court office or do the have to appear before a judge?
If I now say I will pay all of the amount (it will have to be in installments), will this be enough to stop a default judgement?
If I offer to pay most but not all of it, will that stop a default?
If I apply for legal aid to defend the matter, will a letter from the legal aid board be enough to stop a default judgement ?
even if I pay it now, can they look for costs? If so is it possible to determine roughly how much?
Thanx for any help
