Massachusetts law on time frame to file a motion to vacate
No, a motion to dismiss is not a responsive pleading. Under the federal rules, the determination of "what's a pleading" is covered by Fed. Rule of Civil Procedure 7(a). If it isn't listed in Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 7(a), it is not a "pleading" technically. A motion to dismiss is likely under Fed. Rule 12(b), and while a Motion to Dismiss can sometimes be used prior to an answer, it technically does not enlarge the time in which to answer a suit, it nevertheless extends the deadline to answer. Rule 12 provides that if a Rule 12 motion to dismiss is denied, the responsive pleading reply period is modified to be 10 days after the Court's decision.

No, being two days late in responding to a lawsuit generally does not automatically result in default judgment. However, failing to respond to a lawsuit within the timeframe specified in the court rules could lead to a default judgment being entered against you. It is important to address legal matters promptly to avoid adverse consequences.
If the defendant replies on the same day that you submit a motion for Entry of Default, the reply may still be considered valid if it is within the required 30-day period. However, it is best to consult with a legal professional to ensure proper procedure for handling the situation.
If you wish to reply you must address your reply to the court either in person or by filing a motion (and you'd better be fast - 10 days goes by quickly) which addresses the subject matter of the judgment. However, if you have no defense and/or agree with the judgment, simply do nothing and the judgment will automatically take effect.
There is obviously a great deal of confusion here, to say the least. The bank has to know why the account was frozen, as it is not an action that can be done arbitrarily but requires a court order. This usually pertains to a lawsuit having been won against the involved party and a judgment awarded which was executed as a bank account levy (garnishment). In unusual situations an account can be frozen before a lawsuit is heard, but the circumstances must be deemed applicable according to state laws. If the account holder also has a loan with the bank, the bank can use a set off action to remove funds from the person's account to satisfy the debt. If none of this applies then the bank may have committed a grievious error against the customer and should be held accountable.AnswerMost likely there has been a civil judgment against her from probably a collector. She should get a copy of the judgment in the mail from both the bank and the collector within a few days. She needs to act fast because she has a right to file a claim of exemption or motion to set the judgment aside. Depending on which state, it could be as little as 10 days from the date of the levy that she has to file--not business days either! She should have a paper included with the copy of the judgment with all the exemptions available to the judgment. The plaintiff then has to respond to the motion or else it will be set aside. Most likely, if they went to the trouble of getting a judgment, they will proceed and still try to maintain the judgment. You need to file a motion and declaration to set aside with your reasons such as, not served properly, debt is not hers, etc. and then the specifics in the declaration part. I'm going through the same thing right now.

It maybe diffent in other states. * The average time limit is 20 days although it will vary depending upon the state law, therefore it can be as short as 10 days from the time the judgment is entered. This applies to appeal only not to the filing of a motion to have the judgment lifted.
