I had a medical bill and unbeknownst to me the hospital hired a lawyer and they had a court date. I received a letter of their lawyer after and started paying them toward the money I owe. They sent me an acceptance of service letter but now I received a letter stating I'm in default because I failed to enter a written appearance in person or by lawyer with my defenses or objections. It says I have 10 days to do that. What does this mean and what was the letter of acceptance for?
Answer
You received a 10 day notice. That means that you had better have a proper written response filed with the court before that time expires or they will enter a default judgment against you. It is meant as a final warning. The response likely isnt something that you could do, at least not properly. You should get a consultation with a consumer attorney immediately and have that attorney review the complaint that was filed against you.
