More details to this question:
Because they sent the summons out late. What can I do about them not goving me enough time to respond? This is in regards to a car loan in which I had 5 payments left and were unable to pay the full amount, but would sent $40.00 or $20 and the company would accept the payment. The last payment ade was in April 2014 they closed my account on June 5, 2014, and served me with these papers on 9/19/2014 which was the last day to file any proper court filings.

I'm not a California lawyer, but in every state I know, your time to respond to a summons runs from the date you are served, not the date it is filed with the Court.
