My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Pennsylvania
I recently found out that I am being sued by a credit company for non-payment of a loan. I was a co-signer for my ex, whom I thought was paying the bill. Anyway, I hired an attorney and was prepared to fight this lawsuit. On the court date, the lawyer for the credit company did not show up and the magistrate dismissed the lawsuit.
I just received a notice that they intend to appeal the decision. I read that an appeal is not supposed to be about retrying the case, but rather about legal mistakes. Do they have any chance of winning since they didn't bother to show up the first time?!
Thanks for any help!
