If the debtor does not respond to court proceedings within the required time, it may be possible to request default judgment.

A default judgment means the court can enter judgment without a contested hearing because the debtor has failed to respond.

However, the court process still needs to be followed correctly, including issuing the claim properly, serving the papers correctly and allowing the required time for a response.
