I dont know the person who is suing me — why am I being sued?
The person suing you is known as the Plaintiff. It is possible that the Plaintiff may have sued the wrong person. It is also possible that the case filed against you involves a dispute from your past and about which you have forgotten. For more information about the lawsuit, you should call the Plaintiff or his/her attorney. NOTE: You must nonetheless file an Appearance by the Return Date or you risk being found liable by default (i.e. for not filing your Appearance). If this happens, you may incur additional court costs. Once you are before the judge, you can explain the facts of your case. If, in fact, the Plaintiff sued you in error, you may ask the Judge (when you are in front of the Judge), for an order for the return of your Appearance fee or for an order requiring the Plaintiff to reimburse you for your Appearance fee.
