  or the insurer entered at any time by default or by collusion need be considered as
  evidence of liability or of quantum of damages. No judgment or order against an insured
  or the insurer entered within four months before the filing of the petition need be
  considered as evidence of liability or of the quantum of damages. (e) All claims of a guaranty association or foreign guaranty association shall be in such
  form and contain such substantiation as may be agreed to by the association and the
