Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

I had a creditor file a lawsuit against me. We reached a stipulation agreement before my 20 day limit to file an answer to the summons. Should I still file an answer to the summons even if the Plaintiff and I have this stipulation agreement?

You signed the stipulation? No, an answer isn't required if you signed the stipulation. The creditor will file the stipulation with the Court. Even if something happened and the stip was not filed, you have a signed copy for your records.

If the Stip. was signed by all parties, file it with court so they are aware of settlement.
