Re: Answer to Citation/Petition

The citation tells you when you must have a written answer on file with the court. Send a courtesy copy to the attorney for the creditor.

A typical answer is a general denial of the claim. Add whether you are entitled to any offsets or credits that have not been shown in the petition.
