Here is the list of steps to take:
- Contact the Clerk of Court where your case is filed — ask for the PLD-050 General Denial form.
- File your Response before the deadline listed on your summons.
- Serve a copy of your Response on the plaintiff’s attorney.
- Call the attorney listed on the summons to see if they’ll accept a payment plan or settlement.
- Keep all documents and proof of filing for your records.

I’m sorry to hear about the situation you’re facing. Have you already responded to the summons you received?
No.
Lexi, Chatbot
Can you provide more details about the contract you had with the company suing you?
It was a loan I was given, and I didn’t pay it back. They’re seeking $6,815 from me.

Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you?
Yes.
