Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Kansas

Judgements

3 years ago I was recruited ( by the manager) to work for an insurance co.2 mos. later he got fired. He convinced me to follow him to another co. Start date was delayed several times. I ran through my savings & manager gave me $1000.00 to hold me over with no pay back schedule discussed. No paper work just ''Loan'' in memo on check. Bottom line: He jacked me around for several months. After I had had enough I left the company. Now I have been out of work for most of the last 2 year. I have no money, no property & no income. My parents are elderly & need supervision & I am a widow with out any real job skills. I'm trying to get into a 2 yr. training program. Manager got a judgement by default. I recieved a notice (by reg. mail) to appear for hearing in aid of execution. Here's my question: What happens if I don't show up & if I do what can they do? I don't have the records they are demanding ie; tax returns,bank statements & employment records. Any advice on how to handle this? Should I offer $25.00 a mo.? It would be a hardship to come up with even that but I need to resolve this some way. I have other problems that I don't have room to go into. Appreciate any help I can get!

Re: Judgements

If you fail to appear for a Hearing in Aid, the Judgment Creditor's attorney may request a Contempt citation be issued against you. If you fail to deal with that, a warrant may be issued for your arrest. That could mean that you might appear before the Judge in chains, or have to post a Bond to get out.

If the Judgmement Creditor is represented by counsel, you will find that it is better to be truthful with them regarding your assets than to risk being arrested.

Good Luck
