Re: Signature
What paperwork did you receive? Did you receive a Bill of Complaint? If you were served the Bill of Complaint by posting on your door or if the papers were hand delivered to you, you have 21 days to file an Answer or you will be in default.
If you were only mailed papers, this does not constitute service and you are not compelled to respond.
Contact an attorney to set a free appointment to discuss the matter immediately.
