Question posted in the General Law category relating to Gauteng

I was served summons for late payments with my home loan in May 2021.I went to.the attorney and proposed a repayment plan which was accepted.  However my follow-up email on where to process the payments or reinstate the bond debt order went unanswered. Calls the directly to bond provider BMW led me nowhere as i was informed that BMW no longer does home loans. Despite this i made payments using the account i had on the statement.  I then defaulted again on payments as my company fell on hard financial times. In 2023 the same attorneys served me with unopposed default judgment application which relied on the 2021 summons. I filed the notice of intention to defend and now have 2 days left of the 15 days to respond. My business is now up and running and in a position to resume payments as well as service the outstanding amount i owe from defaulting.
