20 days to answer creditor?
Do not ignore the summons; hoping that it'll go away. It will not! You should consider contacting an experienced collections attorney. If you were served a summons by the court, then you have 20 days to answer the summons. The summons should give you some additional information on how to answer the summons. Before answering the summons, you should verify if you have any absolute defenses, such as the statute of limitations. The summons should be attached with additional documentation support the claims. Read this documentation carefully. Is the documentation just a printout of transactions? Does the documentation include the original contract with your signature? Your creditor has the burden of proof. By ignoring the summons, you run the real chance of having a default judgment or summary judgment issued against you.
