Judgement awarded for missed court date
Date: Thu, 06/24/2010 - 19:38
What can I do to stop a civil case judgement? I originally went to court for this case and it was dismissed. I received paperwork from other parties attorney and the courts saying case dismissed. Three months later I received a notice for court pertaining to this claim. Unfortunately, I missed the court date due to illness. I filed a motion the following week but have not received a response from the courts. In the meantime, I just received a notice of judgement from their attorney. What can I do to stop the judgement and or get back into court? Why have I not heard anything on my motion?? Please help..Any advice would be appreciated...Case was filed in Ohio

Hunter, did you talk to the suing party, or their attorney? If the creditor or collection agency agrees to change the court date as per your request, they will have to appear in court on the original date. They will have to appear and reschedule the court date. However, if you fail to contact the collection agency or their attorney, you are supposed to send a friend or relative to the court on the original date to reschedule your case. Else, a default judgment will be entered against you. The case cannot be dismissed.
