You get a default judgment which will eliminate the consumer's right to defend one self (apparently this is what the banks' attorney will make you believe and a judge will usually go with it unless you stand up for yourself and not get intimidated by the banks' attorneys)

The above is not accurate. A default judgment might be entered if you fail to go to court on a SUMMONS and Complaint. A SUBPOENA is a court command to appear in court in someone else's case to either testify or bring documents that are to be used in evidence. If you get a SUBPOENA to appear in court on a specific date and you do not go, it is possible the court will hold you in contempt and perhaps issue a bench warrant for your arrest in serious cases.

Do not confuse a SUMMONS with a SUBPOENA. They are two different types of court process used for two different types of court actions.

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.


What happens if the defendant and the plaintiff do not show up for a court date?

If neither the defendant nor the plaintiff show up for a court date, the judge may issue a bench warrant for their arrest or the case may be dismissed. It is important for both parties to communicate with the court and reschedule the hearing if they cannot attend.


What happens when the plaintiff does not show up for a subpoena on a lawsuit?

If the plaintiff does not show up for a subpoena in a lawsuit, the court may dismiss the case or rule against the plaintiff. Failure to comply with a subpoena can lead to penalties such as fines or imprisonment for contempt of court. Additionally, the plaintiff may lose credibility with the court and damage their case.


What happens if you are summoned to court for a collection debt and you are on disability if you don't show up?

If you don't show up to court for a collection debt case, the court could issue a default judgment against you, meaning the creditor automatically wins the case. This could lead to wage garnishment or bank account seizure to satisfy the debt. It is important to attend court or seek legal advice to understand your options.
