A Vermont Entry of Default is a legal document filed by a plaintiff in the state of Vermont to initiate the judgment process against a defendant who has failed to respond to a summons or complaint. When a defendant fails to file a written answer to a complaint, the court can enter a default judgment against them. A Vermont Entry of Default is the first step in this process. There are two types of Vermont Entry of Default: Default Judgment and Default Judgment with Prejudgment Interest. A Default Judgment is entered against a defendant who has failed to respond to a summons or complaint, and the plaintiff is entitled to the relief requested in their complaint. A Default Judgment with Prejudgment Interest is entered when a defendant fails to respond to a summons or complaint, and the plaintiff is entitled to not only the relief requested in the complaint but also pre-judgment interest.
