Normally the defendant must be served with notice of the claim before it is granted. If the person is hard to find, the claim can sometimes proceed without service or with substitutional service, but this may give grounds to have the judgement set aside in due course.

You will be served with the complaint. The complaint will set forth the cause of action, the name of the plaintiff and the plaintiff's attorney.

What is the best way to respond to a summons from a collection agency who has filed a claim against you in court?

When the summons was received you should have been given instruction on how to answer. It is VERY important when being sued, the defendent files for all the exemptions allowable under state laws. If you are a homeowner you need to find out if the homestead exemption is automatic or if not, you need to file one. There are many other exemptions, including vehicles, personal property, pension monies, head of household wages, etc. It is advisable whenever being sued to obtain legal counsel if possible.
