I got served some court papers about a month ago from a bill collector wanting money. I called them and told them i was unemployed and was not able to pay it. WEll, i just got a Statement of CLaim in the mail from the court. I want to know what's going to happen? If i can't pay, will i go to jail? I have no bank account or anything. the paper says:
The within case having become in default by the failure of the defendant to file an amswer or other denfensice pleadings, fifteen days has elapsed from the date of said default, and the same not having been opened as a matter of right or otherwise;
IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that CBA of GA do have and recover of me the sum of ...as principal, ...as attorney fees, together with future intrest on said principal as provided by law O.C.G.A 7-4-12 and accrued court costs of ..., and future cost if any.
SO ORDERED this 25th day of September
So, can anyone PLEASE tell me what's going to happen and what i need to do, b/c i cannot pay this right now. I'm really scared and i don't wanna go to jail b/c i can't pay it.
