How do I file a motion for a credit card debt?
I have gone to court due to a summons regarding an unpaid credit card bill. I was given another 20 days to hire an attorney and/or file a motion. How do I do this without an attorney and without having to appear in court again?

Okay so it was good that you responded by going to court. But I am unclear as to what you have to do next procedurally. Did you file an Answer to the Complaint? What typeof motion did you need to file? For what relief or end result? Motions can be made for many, many reasons and to obtain different results. And if you make motion you will still have to go to court on the "return date" or the date the the motion is scheduled to be argued in front of the Judge. Maybe you should consult with an attorney here. Or gather more facts and write back so that better guidacne can be given. Good luck.
