You will not get arrested for not going to small claims court over a bill. However, the court may issue a judgment against you for the amount owed if you do not defend your case.
Take it to small claims court.
If you don't show up to small claims court in Wisconsin, the judge may enter a default judgment in favor of the other party. This means the other party will likely win the case and you may be required to pay the amount they are claiming. Additionally, you may face consequences such as additional court fees or a warrant being issued for your arrest.

yes you can the law allows anyone to file a small claims lawsuit. But make sure you have his correct address my suggestion is you send what is called a "DEMAND LETTER" by regular us mail and by certified mail "restricted delivery". its about $10.00 at the post office give him 30 days to pay. Dont worry if he dosent sign it just make sure you have his correct home address. Donot accept partial payment. DO NOT ACCEPT A CHECK. CASH OR MONEY ORDER ONLY. IN FULL> if he does not pay in 30 days file a small claims lawsuit against him in the local court nearest to his address. call the small claims court and ask questions. its easy simple and hopefully you will get your money. If you win hire a collection agency to collect your money. GOOD LUCK! JUDE KAGABINES LEXINGTON SC
Maybe small claims court. Check with a local attorney. the best protection is DONT CO SIGN. Generally anyone who causes financial damages, which non payment of the debt as promised would seem to be, can be sued to have those damages recovered from. If one can pursue it in small claims court or needs a different one is really only dependent on the size of the claim, not the cause of action. In most areas the limit on awards in small claims is low, something like $1500 (varies). Anything more would require the higher, more procedurally formal court actions.

Garnishment will not stop if you leave the state. A garnishment is obtained from a judgment or default judgment against you in court. You have the option to go to court, and file for modification of the debt or file bankruptcy unless the debt is listed under special circumstances.
Generally, the party who brought a court action against you will win by default and obtain a judgment lien against you. Generally, if you don't show up in court to defend yourself against a claim filed by someone else, you will lose by default.
Generally when a defendant does not appear in a creditor civil suit, the court will award the plantiff a default judgment against the debtor. The judgment creditor can then execute the writ in the manner allowed by the laws of the judgment debtor's state. If a vehicle is not protected under the exemption amount allowed a judgment creditor can place a lien on the vehicle and request a forced sale. However, this is rarely done, as it is time consuming, complicated and seldom results in the judgment creditor recovering all monies owed. Please be advised, a judgment creditor has several options for enforcing the judgment, the preferred method is wage garnishment or bank account levy, followed by the seizure and sale of other non exempt property owned solely by the judgment debtor.
