What is the name of your state? NY
Can anyone please tell me the difference between a summons and a judgement? How do you answer a summons? I received a summons and called the lawyers office that it came from. They said I could settle for 1,700 and I had to pay all at once. If not, I could make payments, but they wanted my employers name which I did not give them. I told them I needed to contact a lawyer and I would call them back. I can't afford to pay 1,700 all at once, or can I really afford payments. Do I have to tell them the name of my employer? Can they find out and garnish my wages? Can they freeze my checking account? I don't know what to do Please help. Thanks.
