I received a trial call order letter in the mail in a debt collection case. The letter states: "Please note that you have been defaulted in the court case captioned above and that the matter is currently set for prove-up. . ." Does the term "prove-up" mean the same thing as "citation to discover assets"? And can I be arrested for contempt for not appearing at this court date? Thank you.
Answer
What it means is that they do not have a judgmenbbt yet, that because they do not have a judgmnent yet they can not serve you with a Citation to Discover Assets, and you do not have to appear. Whether you should appear is a diffferent issue. You might be able to negotiate a lesser amount the creditor. But that choice is yours.
