Re: written answer to the court
The usual answer is what's called a general denial. It is a simple statement, "Defendant denies the allegations and demands strict proof."
In your case I would go one step further, and add,"Defendant specifically denies that the vehicle was sold in a commercially reasonable manner or that all required notices were properly given."
Send a copy to plaintiff's attorney and send the original to the court.
Then, having filed your answer, contact plaintiff's attorney and see what sort of payout you can negotiate.
