Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Utah

Answer to summons

I just received a summons for a debt that is not mine. There are no exhibits attached to the complaint as evidence. What affirmative defense can I use in my answer and how do I word it? The complaint alleges that the debt originated in Jan. of 2002 so it may also be covered by the SOL in Utah depending on what type of debt it is. Can I use that as a defense even if I--name removed--t know what type of account it is? Should I deny each paragraph of the complaint or state lack of knowledge?

Re: Answer to summons

You need to answer each paragraph of the complaint. Your defenses include that the debt is not yours and that the plaintiff failed to state a cause of action on which relief could be granted.
