Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

Hire an attorney to go for you or ask for the hearing to be postponed again. It wont be dismissed tomorrow.

First of all, how do you know for a fact that the hearing was postponed? If it was postponed, then the court is not going to hear the case and it certainly will not be thrown out.

As to whether they have to notify you, maybe they have and you have not gotten notice of it. I don't know what county the action is in, so I would check the local rules. Nothing in the state civil procedure rules address whether you have to be given notice.

If you will be out of the country and want to attend, then file a motion for continuance to postpone the hearing yet again.

However, what is going to happen if you show up at any hearing? What exactly are you going to say? If this is your debt, they will recover a judgment against you regardless of whether you show uo or not.

Before you do all this, what exactly do you hope to accomplish? Is this your debt or not? If you have a defense to the charges, then get local counsel to protect your rights. If this is your debt and you have no defenses, then spending money on a lawyer to litigate is not the most productive use of your funds.

If this is your legitimate debt, I know the attorney for Citibank in PA (if the law firm is Burton Neil) and can resolve this debt for you for 50% -80% of the balance. If you have a lot of debt, maybe you want to see a bankruptcy attorney.
