Re: answer a summons
You need to prepare and file the answer with the Court and then mail it to the other side. You will need be careful to follow the procedural requirements as well as the local rules of your Court.

The collection firm wants you to ignore the lawsuit; in fact they depend on it. Fight back and defend yourself. Just don�t be surprised how quickly they fold (don�t worry -- we won�t remind you we told you so).
We know based on our experience that the debt collection firms so rarely continue to effectively litigate the case if the defendant retains an attorney. We are so confident in this fact, we know our workload will not be overwhelming and therefore we can provide great representation for an affordable amount. Plus, once you get back on your feet, you may need us for other legal matters, such as preparing a will or starting a business. Our goal is to impress you now, so you come back later. Pretty smart, huh?
As a convenience for our clients, we now accept credit card payments.

Re: answer a summons
If you can not afford to hire an attorney, you could pay a document preparation legal assistant to prepare it for you. Some courts have attorneys who help you fill out an answer form. Without an attorney, the odds are against you, the plaintiff will most likely get a judgment against you in the long run.
