Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Massachusetts

Re: answer summons from credit card

I assume you received a complaint , along with a summons to appear, from a credit card company who alleges you owe money. In theory (pursuant to the doctrine of "Notice Pleading"), there is no set manner, in form or substance, for responding to a complaint, as long as the response is truthful and not knowingly false. In practice, however, the format of the response should be of a particular nature with which the courts are familiar. Please feel free to contact my office for any assistance you may need in filing your response.;)

Retain an attorney to prepare an answer to the complaint and to defend you in the case. Good Luck!

Re: answer summons from credit card

You do not answer the summons, unless it asks for you to appear in court, you answer the elements of the complaint. You can get a sample from your local law library. Remember you have a time limit.
