What does this mean?

[eli4625]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IN

I am being sued in superior court for a past cc bill. I have already been sued for this once and had my wages garnished to pay it off over 4 years ago. I am not attempting to answer the summons I got on this present lawsuit. One of the items in the claim is:

"Plaintiff incorporates by reference herein, each allegation set forth above."

What does that mean?

Also where in my "answer" to the summons do I say I have already paid this debt via another court action? I have those papers show it, do I include that in my filing?

Plaintiff incorporates by reference herein, each allegation set forth above.

This just means that whatever they stated in the general complaint may apply to the count in which this statement is made. This avoids repeating what was already stated.

Attach copies of any documents that are relevant to answering the complaint, including prior court actions on this same issue.

If this same issue was already resolved in a prior court action, an attorney should be able to have this complaint dismissed along with charging the other party for your attorney fees.
