Feel free to contact me by e-mail tomorrow. Perhaps I can give you some guidance. You should answer so that the creditor does not obtain a default judgment against you.

Get the forms for an answer and find affirmative defenses.

Look also for costs waiver.

You may then be in a better position to negotiate or fight.
