If Summoned, How Much Time Will I Have?

[newbie2]

I am sure this has been answered before, but I can't find it in search results. Question: If I get served with a summons from a creditor attempting to levy my bank account, how much time will I have to respond? I ask, as I am still 'at risk' (the law firm hasn't filed for me just yet).

You have to be sued first, then they have to win the suit, then they can petition for garnishment.

Look up your countys district court (or circuit court) website and they will have the rules of the court for civil suits for you to review for the timelines.
