Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Summoned Several Times by Credit Card...

I have recently found out that I have been summoned several times by the orange county court system which is where I had resided 5 years ago.

I currently reside in broward county...

From what I see on the website there has never been judgment on the case and does not state a reason why, only that there has been an extension of time even though I never went. Though the last time I made a payment on the account was over 4 years ago.

Would that be considered SOL?

What happens if I keep on not showing up to the summons because it is not in my current county of residence?

If you do not appear, you may face having a judgment entered against you. If the fail to appear, the judgment will be entered by default and you will have it on your credit record. It can later be recorded in your county of residence and serve as a lien on your property.

A Florida judgment could be entered against you. It is good in all counties.
