What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
Hello and thank you in advance for any input. I have been issued a summons to answer a complaint. It is for a foreclosure notice in my house. The house is currently vacant and I now live in an apartment about two hours away. Same state, different county. The summons goes like this:
"YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED to answer the Complaint in the above entitled action and to serve a copy of your Answer on Plaintiff's attorney within twenty days after service of this summons, exclusive of the day of service, or within thirty days after the completion of service where service is made in any other manner than by personal delivery within the State. The United States of America, if designated as a Defendant in this action, may answer or appear within sixty days of service hereof. In case of your failure to appear or answer, judgement will be taken against you by default for the relief demanded in the Com plaint. NOTICE OF NATURE OF ACTION AND RELIEF SOUGHT."
My question is how do I answer this summons? There is no court date. I called the plaintiff attorney's office and they are no help. I just don't know what my next step or steps ought to be. Please help.
Thank you for your time in reading and answering my question.
