civil claim judgment
Hi Tlgreen,
It is better to answer to their request, and appear in their office. As you did not answer to the summons, the creditor had won the judgment, and they now have the right to collect the judgment amount from you. Thus, they can now request you to provide them with documents to find out what they can take from you to pay the judgment.
However, some of your assets may be exempt from this like your home or your car. This depends on the state you live in. To know more about this you may consult a lawyer.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Aaron
