File your counterclaim. Give the clerk of courts a copy of your complaint at the same location where the plaintiff filed the original complaint. You may file the counterclaim at the same time you file your answer. Make sure that you keep a copy of the counterclaim for you records.

Can you sue someone for falsely suing you?
