FAQ

Although Maryland has abandoned code pleadings, it has not adopted the notice pleading standard of Federal Rule 8(a).

Once the court has accepted your complaint, a "Writ of Summons" will be issued and you must be sure the defendant is notified of the case through a legal procedure called service of process. The Writ of Summons has an expiration date, so pay close attention to the date by which you must have the defendant served.

Read the summons and make sure you know the date you must answer by. Read the complaint carefully. Write your answer. Sign and date the answer. Make copies for the plaintiff and yourself. Mail a copy to the plaintiff. File your answer with the court by the date on the summons.

Plea. After the defendant has served a notice of intention to defend, it must serve a plea (a formal statement of its defence) within 20 court days. If the defendant does not plead with sufficient particularity, the claimant can apply to court for an order directing the defendant to do so.

Don't ignore it. If you do this, the court will simply rule in the issuer or debt collector's favor. Try to work things out. Answer the summons. Consult an attorney. Go to court. Respond to the ruling.

What to Do If You Receive a Writ of Summons. As the defendant, after receiving a writ, you must then decide if you wish to contest the claim. If you choose not to contest the claim, the plaintiff can apply for a judgment without trial.Subsequent to your appearance, you must then serve your defence on the plaintiff.

A defendant may respond in an answer that admits or denies each of the plaintiff's allegations in the complaint. The answer will list defenses and counter-claims or cross-claims against the plaintiff or other defendants. The answer will state whether the defendant wants a jury trial. The case will then continue.

Defend yourself in court; File a cross claim, counter claim or third party claim; Assert that the Writ of Summons was not served properly; or. Simply ignore the debt collection case.
