Re: Default
If you do not appear in court, the creditor may have a default judgment entered against for the full amount claimed on the complaint. With a judgment, the creditor may seize assets to pay for the debt. In some situations, you may be held in contempt for certain court appearances whereby a warrant would be issued for you.
