If a court proceeding has been started against you, you have two choices: do nothing or defend yourself. If you agree with the orders the other party is asking for, doing nothing is the cheapest and quickest way to handle the matter. On the other hand, if you only partly agree or completely disagree you must reply to the claim or you risk losing by default.
