it seems like I had the same thing happen to me as another person in the comments. I only know of a pending lawsuit because I received letters from 3 different attorney's offering their services with the summons included but I wasn't served with a summons and compliant from the plaintiff yet. What do I have to do ? do I have to file an answer yet ? how do I know what answers to give if I didn't receive a compliant to give an answer to each question ? Thanks for any help I would really appreciate it.
You don’t *have* to do anything if you weren’t served. But they very well may get a default judgment against you. Then you would have to file a motion to set aside to undo that. So the safer thing is often to answer. You can usually go to your court and tell them your name and they can look up your case and give you a copy of your complaint so you can answer
What if the summons complaint says I agreed to monthly payment but the contract they attached says biweekly payments. Is that grounds to dismiss the case?
@ I filled my answer and the plaintiffs asked the court to dismiss the case. It was so obvious that it was outside of statute limitations too. Can I sue the plaintiff for the pain I went through?
I am being sued by a collection agency in Broward County, Fl. I was never served a notice to appear but know if the pending litigation because I received letters from lawyers offering their services. Do I have to be in court?
You technically don’t have to do anything unless you are served, but if you know of a suit against you, it’s typically advisable to appear and fight it
The certified court paper that was mailed to me on medical debt was very confusing. It said my court date was in December 2024 and had no numbered complaints. Just a general statement claiming I owe the plaintiff money for a list of medical debt. A total and interest from February of this year. I tried to fill out solosuit on line and couldn't answer all the questions because it's very vague or I maybe don't understand the document. I need someone to look at it and give me advice.
It could be small claims court, and you don’t always need to file an answer in those cases. I don’t do document review, but I do 1:1 consultations over video. If you want to sign up to meet with me, head to debtbrief.com
why not just pay the debt? is this cases because person in debt wont pay? how do they expect payment from a lawsuit? did u hear story of oj simpson he died of old age before he ever payed. they still dont have the money. he probably hid his assets overseas or something. yeah i think courts have some powers to try to find stuff internationally but it seems to be hard. not easy.
If you respond correctly to the first collection letter then you'll never get sued you'll never go to court. They will only sue you if you dispute The collection notice. You respond to the notice this my response is without prejudice I asked you to prove to me that I owe this debt and send me a copy of your accounting records and send it certified mail return receipt requested. You'll never hear any more from them. Because they didn't have any money to loan you in the first place. They took your promise to pay did the federal government to get the money that they forwarded to you. Also you cannot pay a debt with a debt. !!! Anytime there's a legal contract between two entities ---the contract has to be clearly typed or written with all terms plainly disclosed in the contract both parties have to read it and sign it in Black ink. And if the terms of the contractor changed by either party in the future it has to be red agreed upon by both parties and signed in Black ink. How many times do you get a notice from your credit card company that they changed the interest rate are some other term they've changed. Didn't ask you nothing about it I just told you the deal. Illegal illegal illegal. The original contract is violated no good anymore !!!
I don’t have a “complaint “ page. Just the statement of claim , bill of sale & assignment and the affidavit

Most likely won’t be grounds to dismiss the case, but the outcome would probably be based on what’s in the contract, not the complaint

Most commonly people get their wages garnished if they don’t pay the judgment
Garnished wages

I don’t know where you got this information but this is nonsense
