Received a summons to appear regarding a bank issued credit card. I am uncertain as to how to answer this summons. If I answer it do I have to appear in court? Can I get an extension?
Thanks for any help and your time

What state are you in? In FLorida, an answer would not be required in small claims court, only your appearance. If it is in county court or circuit court, you have several options. One is to file a motion for extention of time to file a response to the complaint. Another is a motion to dismiss, or an answer , affirmative defenses and all potential counterclaims. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE TO RESPOND!
