A Vermont Summons to Debtor in Involuntary Case is a legal document used in Vermont courts when a creditor has filed an involuntary petition against a debtor for the purpose of collecting a debt. The summons is a notice to the debtor that a petition has been filed against them and that a hearing will be held to determine the validity of the debt and the amount due. It informs the debtor of the date, time, and location of the hearing, and their rights under the law. There are two types of Vermont Summons to Debtor in Involuntary Case: a standard summons and an abbreviated summons. The standard summons includes a full description of the petitioner’s claims, the debtor’s rights under the law, and the date, time, and location of the hearing. The abbreviated summons is a simpler document that simply informs the debtor of the hearing date, time, and location. Both types of summons must be served on the debtor in order for the court to have jurisdiction over the case.
