An Illinois Summons to Confirm Judgement by Confession is a court document issued by a court in the state of Illinois. It is used when the plaintiff in a case is seeking a judgement against the defendant without going to trial. This type of judgement is based on the defendant's admission of liability for the debt or claim that is the subject of the case. There are two types of Illinois Summons to Confirm Judgement by Confession. The first type is a Summons for Confession of Judgement, which is issued when the defendant has admitted liability for the debt or claim in writing. The second type is a Summons for Confirmation of Judgement by Default, which is issued when the defendant has failed to respond to the summons or failed to appear at a hearing. The Summons to Confirm Judgement by Confession outlines the details of the case and informs the defendant of the judgement amount that is being sought. It also includes instructions on how the defendant can contest the judgement or request a hearing to dispute the debt. If the defendant fails to respond to the summons or request a hearing, then the judgement is deemed to be confirmed and the plaintiff can proceed to collect the judgement amount.
