Responding to a Claim

In Ontario, a creditor can serve a claim in the Small Claims Court by mail and this provides the defendant, (the individual being sued) with time to file a defence. If you have received a claim from Natale Law Offices there will be no reference to "Draft", the document mailed will have a court file number and will have been signed by a clerk. This is a very important legal document which should be responded to. If received, it is appropriate to contact Natale Law Offices immediately if you believe you have a defence, or, if you are willing to make arrangements to repay the debt in order to avoid the creditor from obtaining a judgment against you.
