Re: How Summon and Judgement will affect me?

The summons is to civil court. zIf you do not appear a default judgment can be entered against you. The creditor may then do whatever Fl law allows to collect the judgment.

You will not go to jail (except for being in contempt of court). It will be of no matterif you are stopped for a traffic infraction.
