(g) In any action arising from a consumer credit transaction, a default judgment shall not be entered against the defendant unless the plaintiff first shall have submitted to a judge or to the clerk of the court proof, by affidavit or otherwise, that the summons served upon the defendant had displayed and set forth on its face the words and added legend or caveat required by subdivisions (d) and (f) of this section.
(h) Additional mailing of notice on an action arising from a consumer credit transaction. (Uniform Civil Rules for the New York City Civil Court).
(1) At the time of filing with the clerk the proof of service of the summons and complaint in an action arising from a consumer credit transaction, or at any time thereafter, the plaintiff shall submit to the clerk a stamped unsealed envelope addressed to the defendant together with a written notice, in both English and Spanish, containing the following language:
CIVIL COURT. CITY OF NEW YORK.________
| COUNTY OF________ | INDEX NO.________ |
| Plaintiff__________ | Defendant__________ |
ATTENTION: A lawsuit has been filed against you claiming that you owe money for an unpaid consumer debt. You should go to the court clerk's office at the address listed on the face of the envelope as soon as possible to respond to the lawsuit by filing an “answer.” You may wish to contact an attorney. If you do not respond to the lawsuit, the court may enter a money judgment against you. Once entered, a judgment is good and can be used against you for twenty years, and your personal property and money, including a portion of your paycheck and/or bank account, may be taken from you. Also, a judgment will affect your credit score and can affect your ability to rent a home, find a job, or take out a loan. You cannot be arrested or sent to jail for owing a debt.
It is important that you go to the court clerk's office listed above as soon as possible. You should bring this notice and any legal papers you may have received. Additional information can be found on the court system's website at: www.nycourts.gov
PRECAUCIÓN: Se ha presentado una demanda en su contra reclamando que usted debe dinero por una deuda al consumidor no saldada. Usted debe dirigirse a las ventanillas del secretario del tribunal, localizada en la dirección enumerada en el frente del sobre que recibió, tan pronto como le sea posible, para responder a la demanda presentando una "contestación." Quizás usted quiera comunicarse con un abogado. Si usted no presenta una contestación, el tribunal puede emitir un fallo monetario en contra suya. Una vez emitido, ese fallo es válido y puede ser utilizado contra usted por un período de veinte años, y contra su propiedad personal y su dinero, incluyendo una porción de su salario y/o su cuenta bancaria, los cuales pueden ser embargados. Además, un fallo monetario afecta su crédito y puede afectar su capacidad de alquilar una casa, encontrar trabajo o solicitar un préstamo para comprar un automóvil. Usted no puede ser arrestado ni apresado por adeudar dinero.
Es importante que se dirija a las ventanillas del secretario judicial antes mencionado tan pronto como pueda. Usted debe presentar esta notificación y cualesquiera documentos legales que haya recibido. Puede obtener información adicional en el sitio web del sistema: www.nycourts.gov.
The face of the envelope shall be addressed to the defendant at the address at which process was served, and shall contain the defendant's name, address (including apartment number) and zip code. The face of the envelope also shall contain, in the form of a return address, the appropriate address of the clerk's office to which the defendant should be directed. These addresses are:
[INSERT APPROPRIATE COURT ADDRESS OR ADDRESSES]
(2) The clerk promptly shall mail to the defendant the envelope containing the additional notice set forth in paragraph (1) of this subdivision. No default judgment based on defendant's failure to answer shall be entered unless there has been compliance with this subdivision and at least 20 days have elapsed from the date of mailing by the clerk. No default judgment based on defendant’s failure to answer shall be entered if the additional notice is returned to the court as undeliverable, unless the address at which process was served matches the address of the defendant on a Certified Abstract of Driving Record issued from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. Receipt of the additional notice by the defendant does not confer jurisdiction on the court in the absence of proper service of process.
