Go to the trial and try to win your case. Bring witnesses, receipts, and any evidence you need to prove your case. To make sure the witnesses go to the tria I, f II out Form SC-l 07, and the clerk wi II subpoena (order) tbem to go. Sue the person who is suing you. File Form SC-120, Defendan t 's Claim. There are strict filing deadlines you must follow. Agree with the Plaintiff's claim and pay the money. Or, if you can't pay the money now, go to your trial and say you want to make payments.
