What is it called when you are summoned for court?
One can actually be summoned to court with whistle and a nod, if that person were willing to show up. Typically, however, the court will issue a subpoena (or, a summons) upon the request of a party to the litigation. Without the subpoena, the opposing party will have no recourse if you don't show up. The subpoena must be properly served for the summons to have any legal weight in the case one does not appear. But even an order made in open court, in the presence of the person being ordered, is sufficient.

If you are summoned to court for a collection of debt can you settle out of court by paying the debt before the court date?
Yes, and the court would love you for it so it does not have to spend any time on it. But don't offer to pay the whole thing right away. Try to work out a settlement with the creditor to pay about 70-80% of the debt claimed. Many creditors go for this because of the assurance of being paid a substantial amount of the debt without going through complicated, expensive and time-consuming collection methods.
