62%
62% of the debt lawsuits in our six-year Wisconsin court study ended in default or uncontested judgment — the defendant never responded or never contested, and lost automatically. When defendants do answer, the odds change sharply. Answering first is the whole game.

The 60-day court-acceptance guarantee
If Answered cannot deliver the product you bought, or a court rejects your Answer because of a defect in the document Answered generated, we fix it free and refund you 100% — within 60 days of purchase.
And you only pay if Answered can build your defense: the deadline and case-fit check is free, and checkout appears only after your saved case passes the readiness check. One-time payment — no subscription.
The refund is about whether Answered delivered a working, court-acceptable document workflow, not whether you win, settle, avoid default, get a dismissal, reduce the debt, or like the court outcome. Full refund policy.

Doing nothing
The full amount claimed
Courts can enter a default judgment for the full amount plus costs — and wages can be garnished in most states. Silence is how these cases are won.

Objections, answered
The three questions everyone asks before paying.
Common questions
Questions defendants ask right after being served.
How long do I have to respond after being served?
It depends on your state and court track — most states give between 14 and 35 days from the date of service, and some courts work differently. Your summons, the docket, and court rules control the real date. The free deadline check maps your dates from the state and service date you enter.
Do I have to pay anything to check my deadline?
$0 to check. One paid unlock if Answered can build your defense: the Full Defense Packet - $99, one-time. Prefer it handled? Filed-For-You totals $149 with Mail Filing where available. 60-day court-acceptance guarantee.
When does payment happen?
You pay only after your deadline and a preview. Self-help software, not a law firm.
What does Answered check before checkout?
Answered checks that your saved case passes its readiness gate before checkout unlocks: a supported state and court track, and a case its self-help workflow can actually build. If the case does not pass, payment stays locked and the free deadline tools remain available. You also see a watermarked preview path before you pay anything.
Who files the Answer with the court?
You review, sign, file, and serve the documents yourself unless a separate eligible filing service clearly says otherwise. Answered gives you plain-English filing and service checklists, clerk-call prompts, reminders, and proof-saving steps so the next move is organized instead of improvised.
