Hi Eva, here's our page for the court in Orange County Florida


That court doesn't charge a filing fee for an Answer in a debt lawsuit. 


If you don't have money to pay the debt you should still respond to the lawsuit to protect your rights and prevent yourself from losing automatically. Once you've responded you can try to settle the debt for less. 


If you lose, they'll get a judgment against you. That will give them the right to garnish your wages at any time for at least the next 20 years. Here's more on that. Here's more on that.
