The court can rule in favor of the plaintiff. This is not an unusual occurrence. The plaintiff usually gets everything they asked for, which may be money, injunctions and compensation for court costs.

What will happen if you do not show up for court when being sued by collection agency or credit card company?

The defendant is not required to make an appearance in a creditor suit, but if he or she does not appear the plaintiff (creditor) will win by default and a judgment will be entered against the debtor. FYI, unless the defendant has undisputable evidence that the suit is faulty (debt not valid, wrong person being sued, etc.) it will make no difference in the outcome whether the defendant debtor appears or not, the plaintiff will be awarded a judgment.
