You're not making sense. If the defendant was served with a summons and complaint, you have to seek a default within a year. You ask the clerk if you were suing for a "sum certain in money," like a check. Otherwise, you have to make a motion to the court. The help for this kind of task should be inexpensive, likely under $500.
