I am the plaintiff in a civil court case in Solano County, California, with three defendants. I requested and was granted default on all three defendants in April 2022, but later learned that form CIV-050 must be served on each defendant before default can be requested. I have now served the CIV-050 on all three defendants and am ready to ask for a default judgment. However, my request for default and judgment was returned because 'default has already been entered.' Should I proceed with requesting a default judgment without further concern about the technically incorrect default entered last April, or what steps do I need to take to correct the incorrect default so that I can request a default judgment?
