Hi,

I really need help. I am in the state of California and yesterday my mother (who lives in CA as well) gave me a summons that she received about one month ago. I called the courthouse this morning and was told that April 16, 2008 was the last day I could respond to the summons. Now, I'm not sure what to do. I've heard that I might still file a motion so I can get the case heard in court (a judgment has not been entered, but from what I understand there does not have to be a hearing at this
point) or just contact the plaintiff directly and try to work out a
payment agreement. If I'm able to work something out with the
lawyer/plaintiff, what wording should I include in a letter? From what I understand, I should stipulate that the judgment should be "vacated". I feel I'm over my head and not sure what to do. Your help would truly be appreciated.
