What does it mean to file a written response after you have been summoned?
A written response, normally called an Answer to the Complaint, is your opportunity to deny the allegations made in the complaint against you. The complaint was in writing and served upon you. You must therefore do the same. You answer each numbered allegation in the complaint one by one. Some you'll have to admit and some you will deny. Others you will neither admit nor deny but leave plaintiff to prove it. Once the court receives the answer it will be treated as a contested matter and put on track for trial. In addition to making denials of the allegations in the Complaint, you will have to raise what are called Affirmative Defenses. Check the court rules for the affirmative defenses that must be raised.
