A: This is something that an Oklahoma attorney is best suited to advise on, but your question remains open for four weeks. If this is something in the lawsuit stage, an ordinary letter might not suffice as a response. There could be more formal legal responses needed. Unfortunately, it's difficult to say without seeing the paperwork you received. If you could consult with an attorney briefly, they might be able to tell you what your options are and whether this is something you might be able to handle yourself, or whether you would be better off with an attorney. If the matter has placed you in financial difficulty, you could look into whether pro bono or legal aid resources are available to you. Good luck
