It's impossible to know what the appropriate responsive pleading is without knowing more about the merits of the complaint and your defenses. Make sure you talk to an attorney to file the appropriate pleading on your behalf, or at least get an extension of time in which to do so from the Plaintiff, as failure to do so may result in you losing by default.
