QUESTION
Should I still respond to a summons even though we have contacted the plantiff attorney and tried to work out debt?

More details to this question:
The lawyer hasn't responded to our proposal but he did say he thinks it is in our best interest to try to settle. He asked us to send proposal letter and we did. We are afraid that if we don't respond to summons we will be in default.

I would respond to get an answer on the record to protect your interest in case the opposing attorney backs out of his settlement talks or offers you something you don't want to sign.

Yes, either file a timely response to the Complaint at Court or obtain a written extension of time in no uncertain terms to protect your rights.? Otherwise, your default may be entered and Judgment ?may be taken against you.
