Plaintiff Attorney Didn’t Show… Now What?
This is taking place in Massachusetts.
I am being sued for a debt owed on a personal loan that unfortunately I was unable to negotiate or work out a plan for with the institution. I went to the district court this morning (for the first time) where their attorneys had filed a motion for judgement, however they did not show up. Judge asked if I’d like her to act on the motion and I indicated I am in the process of filing Chapter 13 (solely due to this particular debt). She said she would not act on the judgement, took my phone number, told me once I file make sure I/my attorney notify the court, and dismissed me.
…but now what? Does this mean she is dismissing the suit or just holding it until the attorney reaches out again? If so would the attorney be able to file suit again as long as it’s in the SOL?
Also… why might the court need my phone number?
