This cause is before us on appeal from a final order of default entered by the Department of Banking and Finance against Fundamerica. The parties agree that Fun-dameriea did file a response prior to the entry of the default. Following the rule applicable generally to defaults in civil matters, we reverse and remand with directions that the default be set aside. Carillon Corp. v. Devick, 554 So.2d 630 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989).
