You want to file an Answer to Complaint: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms/fillable/982135.pdf

Obviously, there might be an issue of the running of the statute of limitation, which you might plead as an affirmative defense.

Please let me know if you need assistance.

You can file a judicial form answer or a specific answer on 28 line paper. You may also have a cross-complaint based upon a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Act if the date that the debt became delinquent passed the statute of limitations. Please call me if you have any questions.

If you have been served a SUMMONS & COMPLAINT you mut file an ANSWER. You will need to list affirmative defenses, one of which is the statute of limitations. Call me directly at 6192223504.
