ATTENTION: A lawsuit has been filed against
					 you claiming that you owe money for an unpaid consumer debt. You should respond
					 to the lawsuit as soon as possible by filing an "answer." You may wish to
					 contact an attorney. If you do not respond to the lawsuit, the court may enter
					 a money judgment against you. Once entered, a judgment is good and can be used
					 against you for twenty years, and your personal property and money, including a
					 portion of your paycheck and/or bank account, may be taken from you. Also, a
					 judgment will affect your credit score and can affect your ability to rent a
					 home, find a job, or take out a loan. You cannot be arrested or sent to jail
					 for owing a debt. Additional information can be found on the court system's
					 website at:
