My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: NV (Las Vegas)
I owe a credit card company $100,000.
They sued and I lost because I did not show up to the hearing. There was no reason to show because the lawsuit is legal and I had no defense: I borrowed the money and could not pay it back. So they have a default judgment against me as of May 9, 2011.
The following are series of events that has happened so far:
03/03/2011 Case Opened
03/03/2011 Complaint
03/11/2011 Summons (Summons - Civil)
04/08/2011 Proof of Service

Notice of Reset of Prove-Up Hearing for Default Judgment
************************************************** ********************
As can be seen above, there were several notices of PROVE-UP HEARING and then they were VACATED and currently, it looks like it is scheduled for 11/15/2011.
My question is: exactly what is this PROVE-UP hearing? And what is the reason for vacating them (vacate means it has been cancceled?). And am I supposed to show up at the court for these Prove-Up Hearings?
Yesterday, I got in the mail the following copy of notices that were filed by the credit card lawyers:
Notice of Reset of Prove-Up Hearing For Default Judgment
Date: 11/15/2011
To: Mr XXXXX
Please take notice that the Prove-Up Hearing for Default Judgment is reset to 11/15 at 8:30am in the Dept VI of the above-captioned Court.
Does this mean I am supposed to show up at the above prove-up hearing? What is a prove-up hearing?
