Amex place a judgment against me and I need to answer it to buy time before file. Have to be fast since august 6, is the deadline. Is a general letter to answer this or what is the process to do it? Thanks

Thanks for you response, I'm searching on google and cant find a letter so I'll use your sample. If anyone have a link of a letter, will be appreciated.

Look at www.creditinfocenter.com and check under the 'is there an attorney in the house' section of the forums. There is a ton of info on how to answer...including how to specifically answer the summons.

Someone can tell me to, who I have to send copies of the letter?

[NoMoreCards]

I don't understanding needing to buy time before you file. I am new here, so it is probably just something I am clueless about. But even if they got a judgement against you, couldn't you still file BK and include that with it?
Or is it you can not file on a judgement once it reaches that state?

Sorry, I am just confused.

[thewiz4u]

After the judgement is granted and a lien is issue I THINK That you cant include it to BK.

Just an update on my case... I sent in a reply to the judgement...Today in the mail I got papers from Mann Bracken answering my reply and now I have another 30 days to respond. Have my fingers crossed that my BK gets filed before then...
