My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: California
Has anyone out there experience the following legal path? Can someone tell me what I can do to get my answer filed?
1. Plaintiff’s attorney files summons and serves defendant.
2. Plaintiff’s attorney sends via e-mail settlement agreement with lines for Defendant’s signature.
3. Defendant does not sign.
4. Plaintiff’s attorney files with court “Notice of Settlement of Entire Case”.
5. E-mailed settlement agreement terms expire.
6. Defendant tries to file “Answer” but cannot because of “Notice of Settlement” filed.
7. Defendant receives “Notice of Dismissal Hearing”.
