What can I do about a suit that has been filed against me for unpaid services?
Services were for phone, internet, and cable at a special price for 6 months, but then price changes without signing of a new contract. Details of debt were not submitted along with the complaint. I understand that I may request a motion for a more definite statement, but then I am unsure of what to do next.

Ok, so let's iron this out. This is a suit for breach of contract for services supplied to your home, correct? It is more than likely that the 6 month rate was based upon your taking the service for a year or more. The price change was also more than likely part of the original terms in the contract. Did you agree over the phone? Then it was probably a recorded conversation. Or did you get somethingin the mail on the promotion? I do not know procedural law in Georgia and an attorney in the area is best to advise you. The Motion for a More Definite Statement is probably known to me as a Discovery Demand of sorts like a Bill of Particulars. But in all suits you can ask for "discovery" which would be a copy of executed the contract if in writing or the telephone conversation if recorded. You may really want to seek legal help in your area. Good luck.
