If you received a court summons, you must attend the hearing. If you do not attend the hearing, the judge can put out a bench warrant for your arrest.
Which is most unlikely in the UK as most judges will find against you as undefended for the full amount and award costs against you too. If you fail to pay, a high court writ will be issued and the sheriff will remove your goods to the value. As soon as the sheriff serves the writ all your goods are effectively his. If once your goods are inventoried you try to sell or otherwise dispose of them you are guilty of theft. Keep it simple, go to court, deal with it.

Can a non sworn officer issue traffic citations?
This depends on the laws of the state where the citation is issued and the nature of the charge. A citation is simply a summons to appear in court to answer to a charge. In many jurisdictions, it can be issued/signed by anyone who wants to bring a charge against another person. In signing the citation, the person making the accusation is swearing to the court that the offense was committed by the person named in the citation, and can be charged with false swearing or a civil claim of false arrest if the charge is baseless.

The defendant responds to the summons (legal term "First Pleading") by answering all the charges contained in the summons as either valid or invalid. The required method or form for responding is somewhat different from state to state. Most states will require the response to be printed type rather than handwritten and very concise. The defendant can obtain information on the correct procedure required in his or her state by contacting the office of the clerk of the court where the summons was issued. The defendant should not include personal information or explanation, just factual data to support their defense claim. Please be advised, the defendant is not legally required to answer a civil summons nor to appear upon the date of the hearing. However, failure to do so will result in the defendant losing the right to contest the legal action and a default judgment will be entered in favor of the plaintiff.
