How do I answer a foreclosure notice?
Once you receive a Summons with a complaint, you need to reply to the Complaint by filing one of two documents:
(1) An Answer. This is your chance to tell the court your side of the story and raise any legal claims you may have against the bank

(2) A Notice of Appearance. You do not need to tell your side of the story in a Notice Of Appearance. You tell the court you want to participate in the case and that you want to receive a copy of all the documents.
