Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania
employer suing me
The company I was working for relocated me to from PA to ME back in April, then a month later terminated my employment leaving me in an extememly high cost of living state that I know nothing about without any resources.
Last week I received papers from the district court in PA where I was originally living stating that my employer was suing me for the balance on my corporate credit card that had not been resolved.
I am still at this point unemployed, only surviving in this area on my savings and with the help of my girlfriend and roommate. If my past employer succeeds in suing me I will be left with no finances at all and no immediate prospects for employment.
I only have until the 2nd of January to contact the courts to let them know if I'll be entering a defense / counter suit or not. If I dont set something up by then my past employer will receive a default verdict.
I need to know if there is some way I can turn the law suit around into something like a hardship case on my behalf since they sent me out here and then immediately terminated my employment leaving me high and dry.

Re: employer suing me
The first thing you have to do is notify the court that you'll defend the suit, otherwise your employer automatically wins. Then you have to hire a lawyer. This isn't an easy or simple matter that you can handle yourself.
