What happens if I do not Answer or Request Foreclosure Intervention?

If you do not respond to the Summons and Complaint at all in the thirty days after you are served, then you will be in Default in the Lawsuit. 

When that happens, the lawsuit will move forward without you. 

If you are in Default for failure to respond, you may not present a defense or counterclaim, although you may still be able to contest the amount of money the Plaintiff claims that you owe.
