We got a summons on foreclosure we have to respond to and do not know how to do it. We thought we had a modification in place, have a statement in march with new payment and such and nothing since, now we got a summons and have to respond by Sep 3rd. They are trying to close it out properly but we still have to respond and no one has been able to tell us how.

Respond with a copy of the modification and ask what happened to it.

Do we have to fill out any forms for the court to accept our copies? Do we just mail them or hand take them. I am so stressed I can not even think clearly, sorry for all the questions

What are the forms for? We can't give you a satisfactory answer if we don't know what the forms are for.

Ok, let's fall back and regroup.

Do you already have a lawsuit pending? Are you the plaintiff or defendant?

What is it you want to file with the court?

What court is it? Where?

I see, this is part of another post from the OP. I sort of got a hint AK when you replied the way you did.

Ok. The court may have a form. Depends on what court it is. The court may have a website. But, generally speaking, you need to write a clearly worded answer, identifying the case by name and number. Attach your documents to that. Make copies and send them to the attorney who sued you. Attach a proof of service to your answer and file the answer in the court. You could mail it, but I would suggest that instead you bring it into the clerk's office to make sure it gets there on time, and that you have done it right.

We have a summons that we are required to respond to the court and the attorneys on the papers. We are the defendants and thought we had a modification done at the beginning of the year. We had no idea until the end of June there was a problem. Then we were served a summons that requires a response or they will find us in default. The Bank is now trying to close the modification out and get this out of foreclosure but we only have until Fri the 3rd to file a response. We are in wichita Kansas, Sedgwick county Court. No one would or could tell us if we just simply write and explain what is going on, or if we had to fill out a form to do it, or does this cost to file it?

Write a letter stating that you have been working with the bank on a modification. This process is still ongoing. Then attach copies of your paperwork.
