You can't be arrested for debt, and you can't be arrested for not filing an Answer to the summons. Not filing an Answer just GIVES them a default judgment.

However, if you are served with other papers to appear in court or you are sent interrogatories to answer and you do not, they could then arrest you for contempt of court.

Other than that, the lawyer is full of crap and I would think in trouble if he really is saying - in writing no less- that you would be arrested for not paying or sending an Answer to the Complaint (lawsuit).

So.. are these papers something OTHER than a summons with an Answer to a Complaint ??
