Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Illinois

A default judgment was entered against my brother for breach of repayment plan. He answered in a letter to the court but did not show. I have written evidence where he's not going to pay and said he's going to file bankruptcy to get rid of the judgement. Do I have to notify him a judgement was entered and what is the next step to try and collect? Does he have any rights?

I am not sure I completely understand the question, but I cannot think of a circumstance where you would be responsible for notifying your brother a judgment was entered against him. On the other hand, why would you not tell him? It would be good if he knew so that he could include that creditor in his bankruptcy.
