Sued for Medical Debt in Colorado

[DeadBuckeye]

Currently working on my answer to a summons and compliant I received for $7,500 and had a few questions before turning it in Monday.

First, I was curious if it was bad to deny all the paragraphs in the complaint? Or if I should Agree with paragraphs like my address and county that are correct? 

Secondly, is there anything specific I should make sure to include or to not include in my answer that typically gets missed that could affect my case down the road? Such as specific defenses or counterclaims? 

Thirdly, am I able to post a picture of my answer for comments and thoughts? Obviously with sensitive information blacked out.

Sorry if this is bare-bones I wasn't sure exactly what to share, just very anxious about submitting my answer. Thank you for any and all help and advice!

You should always admit to your identity and your county/address if they are correct.  Without knowing what the other paragraphs are recommending a denial is not a good idea because it could cause more problems than you intend.

What you can or should include as defenses depends on the facts of your situation.  It is NEVER a good idea to throw everything at a lawsuit and hope something sticks with the court.

Pictures are difficult to read.  If you can post a redacted copy of your answer we can help you.  You can also private message me with the details and I can advise you that way.  I have been in the medical field for over 30 years and am acutely familiar with how this works.  We don't see too many lawsuits for medical debt (though that will change with the new credit reporting laws on medical debt) but the last one the court ruled in the defendant's favor.  I don't guarantee results but will do everything I can to help you.
