Civil Complaint Advise Needed Please - Credit Talk Forum

Civil Complaint Advise Needed Please - Credit Talk Forum: "First, it is absolutely essential to find the courthouse and answer the summons. You can find ' templates ' for the correct format for the answer, and the answers need to be denials of virtually all the points except the obvious: your name, your address, etc. Everything else you answer with ' Denied ', and you file the answer with the county clerk's office on the summons.

Make sure you get a stamped and dated copy of your answer. If you ask the clerk they will sometimes tell you whether states laws compel you to send a copy of your answer to the plaintiff, whose address is on the summons.

There is a period of 10-20 days after your answer, then many other things begin to happen. If you answer immediately you actually give up two to three weeks on the time frame, because the plaintiff's time period starts when you answer, not at the end of the original 20 days in the summons. So you can eat up some time for your mortgage by answering at the END of the summon's time frame. Just don't forget to answer.

Let me know if you need the template for the answer."
