Re: alias summons

You will not have a warrant for your arrest. If you don't pay the appearance fee and don't respond, you will have a default judgment entered against you. It is in your best interests not to ignore this and contest it rather than just let a default judgment get entered against you and ultimately have your wages garnished. I'd recommend you consult with a local consumer law attorney about this.
