What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
I was served a summons to appear in small claims court in Indiana via certified mail. I previously lived there about 3.5 years ago. The plaintiff is a doctor's office.
What recourse do I have? I cannot afford to drive several hundred miles and take time off from work to appear in Indiana. I do believe the complaint is not valid. Although I did see the doctor the amount being sought seems very excessive for a couple of doctors visits. Is there anything I can do to avoid a default judgement? Thanks in advance for any help offered. This forum is a great resource.
