I had a line of credit in 2001 with MNBA. I lost my job and they wouldn't
work with me on payments. About 6 months later, they charged off the loan. Now seven years later, a collection agency has filed a lawsuit against me in municipal court in the small city I live in. I already went to court for pre-trial. The attorney representing the collection agency filed a "Summary Judgment" which I'm told is asking the court to rule on the case without holding a trial. The court date is set for February 11th. My question is, if I moved out of the city and out of the county, does this court still have jurisdiction over me in the case? I will be moving to a different city in a different county to be closer to my job. If I send them a letter to tell them I moved on February 1st prior to the court date, will this nullify and close the case or do you think the court would still render a judgment anyway? Am I obligated to attend the court case if I move? They never send a summons, just a postcard with the court date and time. Thank you for your time, Greg in Ohio |

Since you have been served properly you would simply lose if you don't appear.
But they still have to collect from you and that may not be so easy if you have no assets, job or are out of the country. |
