Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Re: What does a SUMMONS look like and what information does it contain?

It cam take many forms but should look something like this:

Civil Court of the City of New York

County of New York

--------------------------------------x

Plaintiff;s name here,

Plaintiff Index No. #####

-against- Summons and complaint

YOUR NAME HERE,

Defendant.

-----------------------------------x

You should call the court where the address indicates the court will be and ask...Byt he way, it is illegal to issue a phony summons and you can sue them if they did...

Fax a copy to 718 504-4221 and I will check it for you...NO CHARGE

Yes it appears to be a summons. It should have a case # on it. If you do not answer it in writing a default judgment will be entered.

Re: What does a SUMMONS look like and what information does it contain?

A summons contains the name of the court on top, followed by the case name, It must say hvow long that you have to answer it and the address of the Court where to answer it, with the name of the law firm.

Is it a small claims summons from the Court? The amount sounds right.

Without see ing it it is hard to tell.

Good Luck
