Step 1. Find out how long your state affords defaulted defendants to seek vacation of the judgment. This information is usually found in your state's court rules. Get a copy of the rules and look under "Judgments" in the index. Step 2. If the time in which to vacate the judgment has not run, consider whether you can satisfy the elements necessary for vacation. Each state has its own requirements, but many states require a two-pronged showing: (1) that your failure to respond in a timely manner was excusable for one reason or another; and (2) that you have a viable factual or legal defense against the claims that were brought against you. Step 3. If you believe that you pass muster under the first two steps, begin assembling your motion to vacate the judgment. Each state has its own procedure for the vacation of default judgments, so check your state's court rules for the proper procedure.

A consent order to vacate default is a legal document that formalizes an agreement between parties to set aside a default judgment that has been entered against one party. This typically occurs when the defaulted party provides valid reasons for their failure to respond to a legal action, and both parties agree to resolve the matter without further litigation. The consent order must be approved by the court, which then allows the case to proceed as if the default had never occurred. This process can help restore the rights of the defaulted party and facilitate a fair resolution to the dispute.
