Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
If I am sued for a debt that I owe to a credit card company in the complaint do I have a right to deny the truth of the suit without committing perjury (even if I’m sure that I owe the debt) as long as I don’t lie in open court? Is that correct? I don’t want to fail to respond because then they win by default but I don’t want to commit perjury. I have not been sued yet but I believe it’s possible and I would want to challenge without committing perjury.

To avoid a default, you must answer the allegations as presented. You may admit, deny, or state that you are without knowledge as to the accuracy of the allegation. You answer is not sworn under penalty of perjury.
