How long does a plaintiff have to serve a summons?
That depends upon the laws of the state in which the judgment was issued, the least amount of time would be 10 business days from the time the summons was served.
How do you answer a summons for a credit card debt?
First, make sure that the document you received is actually a summons to appear. A summons must contain a docket number and a court date. Many collection agencies or collection attorneys use a summons as a scare tactic, in order to get you to pay your defaulted amount. However, if it's an actual summons to appear, the last thing you want to do is not show up. If you don't appear, the plaintiff will get a default judgment from the court. With a judgment in their favor, they may garnish your wages or freeze your assets in order to collect on the defaulted amount.
What is the meaning of 'Now comes plaintiff through counsel and states the following costs in this action' on a civil summons?
Someone is taking legal action against you and if you lose then you will be responsible for the costs as explained in the letter, you need to seek legal counsel to get help in this matter. It's "legalspeak" and it simply means that the attorney for the creditor/person that is bringing the suit (plaintiff) is informing the court and the defendant (debtor) the amount of debt he or she is being sued for plus legal costs and filing/court fees.
If the plaintiff wins a small claims lawsuit can interest be added to the debt after the amount stated on the summons has been paid?
Not if the debt was paid in full to the satisfaction of the creditor plainitff accompanied by written confirmation. Usually the summons will state the original amount of the debt, plus interest accrued, applicable legal fees, court costs and any administrative fees. Simply paying the original balance of the debt only is generally not sufficient.
Can a defendant request a reduction of payment of a small claims judgment?
If what you mean is that a judgment has been entered against you, and you wish to pay a lower amount, you certainly can try to compromise with the Plaintiff. Frequently, the Plaintiff will see it as a chance to get a sum certain within a short period of time, and thereby, worth it to compromise the total amount. In order to get that sort of compromise, it is helpful that you have cash in hand ready to be paid quickly. Keep in mind that once a judgment has been entered, the Plaintiff has no obligation to reduce the amount. It then becomes purely a business transaction.
What is Request of entry of default?
When a person (the plaintiff) sues someone (the defendant), the defendant gets a certain amount of time to respond to the lawsuit (times vary by state). If the defendant does not respond to the lawsuit within the time period prescribed or does not show up to court on the day he or she is supposed to, the plaintiff will ask for (and the court will usually give) a default judgment. Simply put, the plaintiff wins because the defendant did not make an effort to defend themselves. A request for entry of default is when the time has passed for the defendant to respond to a lawsuit and the plaintiff is asking for a default judgment. This only applies to civil cases, not criminal cases.
How do you remove a lien when you were being accused?
In this answer, 'being accused' is not considered, because that action is not explained.When a lien exists against your property title, in order to remove the lien, you must pay the full amount owed, including interest, filing and attorneys fees and so forth. Then you can request that the lien be removed.With the removal papers in hand, you return to the hall of records where the lien is recorded and pay to record the removal of the lien.Sometimes, you can accomplish all of these tasks in the office of the attorney who filed the lien on your title. If no attorney is involved, the clerk in the hall of records can guide you in the appropriate process.ClarificationIf you mean that you were being sued after being accused of some wrongdoing, an attachment was issued by the court to protect the plaintiff's interest, and the plaintiff lost the case then the plaintiff's attorney should record a discharge of the attachment. If that is the case then you can contact the plaintiff's attorney listed on the attachment and request it be discharged immediately. If they do not respond then visit the court with a copy and request its assistance.
What does prayer amount mean in a civil case?

How long is the notice period for a court summons?
This varies from state to state. The summons should tell you the amount of time you have to answer. If it does not say, contact the court clerk or an attorney in your area.
If you are garnished are you notified by mail or a summons if you checked your bank account and a garnishment had taken place but you knew nothing of it and you have to call to find out what it is for?
If the defendant does not respond to the summons in the time indicated, the plaintiff usually wins the case by default. In such cases the judge awards a default judgement, the defendant may or may not be notified of the action depending upon the state's laws governing such issues. Once a judgment has been granted the winning plaintiff can enforce the judgment in numerous ways, one of those ways is a bank account levy/garnishment. A bank account garnishment can be in force for thirty days or until the amount is collected that is owed. Joint accounts are subject to garnishment to the amount that belongs to the debtor, it is the responsibility of the non-debtor to petition the court for the funds belonging to him or her. Joint marital counts are protected in a few states, however, the bank will generally "freeze" an account that it is not certain of, until the court rules on the validity of the garnishment order.
