Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I don't file an answer?
The plaintiff will apply for a default judgment. Once granted, they can freeze your bank account, garnish up to 10% of your gross wages, and report the judgment to credit bureaus — all without any further court hearing.
How long do I have to file an answer in New York?
Generally 20 days if you were personally served, or 30 days if served by other methods. Check your summons for the exact deadline — the clock starts from the date you were served.
Do I need a lawyer to file an answer?
No. New York allows you to represent yourself (pro se) in civil court. The written answer form is designed for self-represented defendants. Our free tool walks you through every field.
What if the debt isn't mine or the amount is wrong?
These are valid defenses. Check "identity theft / mistaken identity" or "I dispute the amount of the debt" on your answer form. Filing an answer forces the plaintiff to prove their case in court.
Is this really free?
Yes. The NY debt answer builder at EasyLegalFiling.com is completely free to use. Build your answer, preview it, and download it at no cost.
