I was served a summons and I completed an answer back but still need to file it, what happens next? Do I get served more papers?

Hi Hilary,
No, you will not be served twice. But the answer which you have written must be submitted to the court. You have to complete the official proceedings of the court. Do appear in court on the due date, otherwise your creditors might get a default judgment.
Hilary, Have you checked the statute of limitations on the debt being collected? You still have to file a response but you also should check your states SOL. (If you do not know how leave your state here and we can find it). If your debt is past the statute of limitations then you could use that as your defense and win your case. Let us know if you want help figuring out if this applies to your debt.
