what are the consequences of ignoring a civil complaint filed against you?

If you don't file an answer and otherwise defend yourself, they win and you get a civil judgement against you.  That could include a court order to shut you down.  If you have no assets they could sieze, they could still garnish your future wages.  It also doesn't look really good on your record if you later try to do business with someone and they look it up.

You will not owe a penalty for not filing, but there is a statute of limitation that limits your time frame to receive a refund - check the website below for correct time frame.

The court can order his assets frozen, but your attorney usually has to make a motion requesting they do so. It is not automatically done as a result of filing a complaint.\n\nConsult with your attorney.

If you paid your fine, then yes, you should not have any problems.  All you did was contest the ticket, which is just a traffic violation.  By not showing up, you forfeitted your right to contest the ticket, so you just have to pay the fine.  \n\nBut if you didn't....well, then a warrant could show up for your arrest.  Hope this helps ya!

Nothing - They cannot fire you for not signing it. They can warn you all they like - you don't have to agree. The main thing to make sure of is that you have had a chance to repond to the accusation and ALSO that your response is written on the warning. If these two things are done then I would sign it.

One assumes that if the case is in litigation, you have an attorney.  One also assumes that you are suing the company.  If the company cannot show the basis for the complaint, then you probably have a case.  However, not knowing which state or country you are from, and no more details makes it difficult.  since I am assuming you ahve an attorney, you should probably ask him/her.

Contact the court that issued the summons.  They will provide the required forms for a response to the civil suit.

I had jury duty on Tuesday in Los Angeles, and someone asked this same question.\n\nIf you do not respond to your first mail summons, you will receive 2-3 more summons by mail.\n\nIf you do not respond to those, you will get a legal summons.\n\nIf you do not respond to that, you will get a fine.\n\nIf you do not pay the fine, it will show up on your credit report.\n\nAnd you will still have to show up for jury duty.

UK answer - if someone misses their community service (now known as Unpaid Work) on two occasions without providing an acceptable reason (such as a medical certificate) they will be taken back to court. In the first instance they will normally be given more hours to complete. If it happens again they might get a curfew. Ultimately that person might be resentenced, possibly to custody. If he does have to go back to court he will be sent a summons. If he doesn't attend court, the court will issue an arrest warrant for him. \n\nWith regard to the compensation, the court will have made an order for him to pay. If he dosn't pay up they can attach this to his benefits or earnings, so it is deducted from his money directly. \n\nIf you are worried about being re-victimised by this person talk to your local victim support service, who will probably be listed in the phone book. If they are not, contact the court or police station and they will give you the number.

You may contact the court and ask for the court to set a debtor hearing to find out what his assets are.  If he failed to appear the judge could issue civil contempt charges against the defendant.\n\nNormally, judgments will affect his credit and hopefully that will make him eventually pay you.

this will depend on the age and sex of the person and the form of harassment that took place, verbal, physical,sexual, and the circumstances at the time, and the place in question, penalty are at the desertion of the judge, if it goes to court, different if it is a civil matter.

If you didnt owe any money, there's no penalty for not filing.  The penalties are figured the passed due taxes owed.  So, if you dont owe anything there, there isnt any penalty.

You said the person who initiated the complain is dead, well there is no complain.\n\nBest take a lawyer and have court vacate the case. That way you are cleared for sure.\n\nActually you may not need to do anything in certain case depends on the details of the case.

If you get a piece of paper in the mail issuing you a court date...you better go to court, otherwise they can arrest you for failure to appear.  If you owe the money, it's best to try and just pay it...we all hate doing it, but it's the right thing to do.

No, your case will now go to cival court. This time period was to establish an answer by the defendant. No answer, the defendant will now be issued a date and time for appearance. You should be receiving a notice as to your case date within 30 days. Now if the defendant does not show up for the actual case, they will probably give them one more chance to reply. If on the second appearance they do not show up, you may win the judgement by default. This why it takes a long time to settle cival matters. Also, ust because you win a judgement, don't plan on collecting. Most judgements are never collected and the party receiving the judgement usually has to place a "lien" on the defendants property to force them to pay up. The defendant them moves to another  county or state and you are back to square one. Good luck!

Depends on the state.  Most states have immunities from civil suit for any statements made in connection with an official proceeding.  This includes statements made in court, to the police, at a legislative hearing, etc.  The immunity means that you cannot be sued civilly when you file a false police report.\n\nThis does not mean that she cannot be charged CRIMINALLY for filing a false police report.  Talk to the D.A. and see if you can convince them to file charges against her.\n\nBut as for getting CIVIL damages, you're probably out of luck.  Sorry.
