Keller vs. Etheridge

6 Yum vs. U.S. Motion to Set Aside Entry of Default Bancorp The court GRANTS Defendant SOFI LENDING CORP’s unopposed motion to set aside the default entered against it on 1/27/26.

The motion is supported by an attorney affidavit of fault, which sufficiently shows inadvertence. Defense counsel timely filed an Answer on 1/23/26 but mistakenly stated that the Answer was being filed on behalf of “SoFi Bank Lending Corp.” (ROA 43, emphasis supplied.) While the Answer was accepted by the Clerk’s Office for filing, the Clerk’s Office also apparently entered default shortly thereafter on 1/27/26, against “SoFi Lending Corp” as the Answer filed on 1/23/26 was not on behalf of “SoFi Lending Corp”.

The motion is timely and moving defendant has established a proper ground for setting aside the default.

As such, the court VACATES the default entered on 1/27/26.

Moving Defendant SHALL separately file and serve its proposed Answer (ROA 71) within 7 days of this ruling.

Moving Defendant to give notice.
