A 'default judgment' is awarded to the plaintiff when the defendant does not appear in court to defend themselves against the claim. If the judgment was awarded to them in your absence, then you are required to obey the courts finding. Depending on what the claim was for, and in what amount, they may be able to seize, or place a lien against, property of yours equal in value to the claim they won.
When someone quits, due to some conflict.
"Shall not be in default" is a phrase used in contracts and other formal agreements to delineate between simply being late to pay someone, and actually being in default to them. An example might be to say that rent is due on the first of the month, but the lessee shall not be in default until the fifteenth.
If you don't pay a loan when due, you default on the loan.

In legal proceedings, "default" refers to a party's failure to respond or appear in court, while "default judgment" is a ruling in favor of the party who did appear due to the other party's default.
No, you signed, you are equally responsible for the payments, you are also equally responsible for what happens with regard to default. This is why the lender permitted you to sign as a co-securer of the original loan.

Confused. If the loan is paid off - hence 0 balance...then it can't said to be in default...there is nothing due. (and you are the only one that can be in default, not the lender). If it was charged or written off, then it is in default and still due. The letter is not saying there is a 0 balance.
