We understand where you’re coming from! Click on one of the items below to view answers to some possible questions you might have.
Yes, definitely. The debt collectors and creditors that file collection lawsuits count on people ignoring a case (about 90%) or trying to represent themselves (about 8%). The company suing will either automatically win convince a defendant to agree to a payment plan if they do show up. The 2% of people that hire an experienced attorney can either get the case dismissed or settled for a fraction of the amount.
With a Default Judgment a debt collector can freeze your bank accounts and take money out, garnish your wages, and put a lien on any property you have. In Illinois they can also charge 9% interest until the full amount is paid. Debt collectors count on a Default Judgment since 90% of people don’t show up in court and have a Default Judgment entered against them.
A Default Judgment could be entered against you. A Default Judgment means the case is over, the debt collector wins.
In Cook County, collection lawsuit trials are either in front of a judge (bench trial) or with a jury or your peers.
An Appearance is a document you file with the court to let it know you are going to participate in the lawsuit. You file the Appearance after you’ve been served with a lawsuit before the Appearance Date or Return Date deadline. You have an option of making a Jury Demand which we almost always recommend doing.
No. This is probably the most common misunderstanding about a lawsuit. The Appearance Date or Return Date is a deadline to file an Appearance and Jury Demand. It is not a court date and you don’t have to go to court.
