What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

I am no lawyer but unable to afford one so I have been reading Florida circuit civil procedures, so far I have file against the company, they where served by the sheriff and did not responded with in the 20 days allowed (or yet) I filed for a clerk default and it was granted seven days later

now The next document I think I am required to file is 1.988 judgment after default, I have typed it just like show in the 2009/2010 books and attached copies of the summons served, motion for clerk default, certified signed clerk default granted BUT when I went to the clerk of court to file it I was told this has to be taken to the judge directly :confused: so I went to the court house but was only able to have the information secretary call up to the office and was told to put in there mail slot , she did sign a copy for me as received but was not a normal stamp like at the clerks office does.

IS this normal or did I do something wrong and if so how do I file it correctly?

the book doesn't show it but I almost wounder if the header shouldn't of said "Motion for finial Judgment" instead. I am just worried I guess that I have done something incorrectly and want to make sure I get the judgment

i dont know but given the lack of answers I can offer you this: go check other cases & see if they were filed in a similar manner
