FAQ
The Summons and Complaint refers to the written documents you receive that begin a lawsuit, wherein the plaintiff (likely your creditor or someone representing the creditor) details their claims against the defendant (you).
You must answer the complaint and file it at the office of the Clerk of Court within 30 days from the date you personally received the complaint or if received by registered mail, the date when you signed for the complaint. If you cannot respond within that time you must request additional time to answer.
1feff In civil lawsuits, a summons is issued to the defendant in the lawsuit, requiring his or her presence to defend a case. For example, if someone sues you in small claims court, the court sends out a summons requiring you as the defendant to attend the hearing at a specific place and time.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I FILE MY ANSWER? Your Answer will go into the court's file. You have to keep one copy and send a copy of it to the attorney on the other side. The Clerk will then give you a date to come back to court or tell you that you will get a date in the mail.
A civil summons is a serious matter. It is "notice" that you have been served with a lawsuit and that if you do not answer the summons and complaint (also served upon you at the time the summons was served) within the stated period of time, a default and default judgment could be entered against you in that matter.
You must answer the complaint and file it at the office of the Clerk of Court within 30 days from the date you personally received the complaint or if received by registered mail, the date when you signed for the complaint. If you cannot respond within that time you must request additional time to answer.
Rule 4(d). The deadline to extend the summons is 90 days after issuance of the summons. If a summons has already been extended by either method, it may be extended again and again, and the deadline each time is 90 days after the most recent extension.
Read the summons and make sure you know the date you must answer by. Read the complaint carefully. Write your answer. Sign and date the answer. Make copies for the plaintiff and yourself. Mail a copy to the plaintiff. File your answer with the court by the date on the summons.
