    Default Summoned with a prior engagement

    I was summoned over a credit card debt (that I do owe and am willing to pay) but I have a prior commitment on the court date. I was given 10 days notice from the date of the summons and it was on a weekend. Is there a way to file for a continuance without hiring an attorney to do it for me?

    Default

    The summons says "to answer the attached petition...". Failure to appear results in a judgement. Also says I may be permitted to file certain pleadings. If I could afford an attorney, I would've just paid the bill originally.

    Default Getting an Adjournment

    Contact the Clerk of the Court to see if you can request an adjournment without filing a motion.
