Do  you know that you must file an answer at court if you get served with court papers? If you don't file an answer with the court, the court can enter a judgment against you. This can happen without any notice to you. That means the person suing you would win. You have to file an answer in a certain number of days. The summons that you get with the court papers will tell you how many days you have to answer.
