What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
Yes, this is a different case from my other post.
I was served with a summons and verified complaint by a process server on 10-31 and given 30 days to answer or file an appearance in Cook County. I was in the process of writing the answer when I saw that a page was missing from the complaint (there are even page numbers that appear to be from the attorney faxing the complaint to the process server that show there is not a page missing from the fax but there is a page missing from the complaint).
I tried emailing the other attorney and got a response a few days later that the complaint on file at the court was complete, he now sent me the missing page.
I filed an appearance with the court (2 days late, I really stink this whole pro se stuff...) but have not filed an answer yet. Part of my issue with getting the appearance filed is that all of my accounts are frozen and I didn't realize the fee was $250. What should I be filing at this point to get the most possible time to file a response as a result of the complaint being served incomplete?
