I got a summons in March for a court date in May (a couple of weeks from now, still) and last week I get this thing in the mail saying that the judgment went to the creditors because of a NO SHOW on my part!!! How can I lose by default for a "failure to appear" when we haven't even reached the court date yet? This act in itself seems so fumbled that it should be thrown out, I think. Any advice at this point? Has this ever happened to anyone? Wondering in California P.S. This hearing date was for a "confirmation of arbitration" (they had "won" an arbitration award against me through the National Arbitration Forum -- yes, this is MBNA and Wolpoff & Abramson and their local shadow attorneys)
