[wismo]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? massachusetts..
I missed a payment review court date in july I dont know why I didnt notice it on the letter maybe i did and forgot.

I know that is really bad because the can issue an arrest warrent and take me to jail.
Is there any way if knowing if the issued one .

I am planning on going bankrupt when I have more money I gave lawyer 100.00 like 6 months ago. What should / can I do .Thanks for any advice.

did you ever file bankruptcy in 2007 or since?


can you explain what a "payment review" is. I am not familiar with that specific term but it may be a locally used term that I know by some other name.

May also be known as payment hearing and no had a bankruptcy in 1993 none after that.

ok, so you were sued, lost, and the court is considering setting payment arrangements, and you missed the hearing where either payments would be set or at least the facts concerning your finances would be reviewed, right?

So, you need to contact the court or maybe go online (if your courts have online info) to see what happened since you did not show. The court may have set payments far above what you would have argued for or they might have refused to set payments. You need to do a little research to find out.

As to going to jail: I wouldn't think so. Usually in civil courts, missing a hearing such as this usually means you get shafted in favor of the other party, at worst.

So, the first thing to do is calm down. Then, do the research. Once you find out the outcome of the hearing, then you can plan your next step.

You good that s exactly how i t went could I find that info on pacer if I get an account?

 

[justalayman]

I think Pacer reports only on federal courts.

An account is free anyway. It only costs to review material and only after some specified amount.

Does any one know if I will be notified at all in the event that a capias is issued for me.?
I have not been having any luck with online court searches.
