When a citizen is required to appear in court, they are typically served with a summons or a subpoena. A summons notifies the individual of the court date and the reason for their appearance, while a subpoena is a more formal order that compels a person to testify or produce evidence. Both documents are legally binding and must be adhered to, as failure to comply can result in legal penalties.

Can a person get served to appear in court for an unpaid bill?

That depends on what you mean by "served to appear in court". If you received a summons and complaint on an unpaid bill, you are required to file a written answer to the complaint and file it within a certain time period. You will not be summoned to appear in court in the same way that you would have to appear on a traffic ticket that requires a court appearance. Of course, on the unpaid bill, if you do not show up on any scheduled trial date, a judgment will probably be entered against you for at least the amount of the bill. You will not be arrested for not showing up for a civil matter.
