Frequently asked questions
I was sued by OnDeck. What should I do?
Act quickly. You have a limited time to file a written Answer (typically 20 to 30 days in New York or 35 days in New Jersey after proper service; Pennsylvania timing varies by court and service method). OnDeck cases often involve litigation on business loans and merchant agreements.. Do not ignore the lawsuit or engage in direct negotiations before your papers are reviewed. Professional legal defense can help protect your rights and assets.
What happens if I ignore the lawsuit?
Ignoring the case can allow a default judgment, which may open the door to garnishment, levies, and liens. Responding on time is what keeps leverage in your hands.
