Full question:
I am the tenant/defendant. What must I do regarding an unlawful detainer complaint which I failed to file answer, and resulted in a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff/landlord. I want to defend myself, but the court clerk told me I can't file anything since I failed to file answer to the summons to begin with.
