I have owe 2500 to someone and I got a summons to appear in a city in my state. This was from 5 years ago. Anyways I haven't worked for 3 years and my parents bought my house and the car, everything is in their name. So its not like they could garnish or seize anything of mine. I didn't even get the summons my sister got it in her mailbox which is strange since I've never lived with her at that address. Anyways what can they do, I'm just going to go bankrupt or something maybe ebay some thing things to get the money.
Oh yeah when I got the summons i went and cleared out my bank accounts, they now have a dollar keeping them open and now are in the form of travelers checks and in my safe.

They can get a judgement against you that can be collected at a future date if you ever do decide to get a job. They may also be able to get info regarding the funds you removed from your accounts and you could be required to pay up immediately, if they can prove that you have hidden your assets. Sounds like you are being very irresponsible. Running up bills then refusing to pay them is totally irresponsible and immature.

Answer the summons, and question their right to sue you. They may not have all the documentation needed to win the lawsuit, and they may just hope that you do not respond and they get a default judgment. Judgments can be enforced for up to twenty years depending on the state you live in.

Speaking as a nationally known credit score and lending expert (book, radio shows, nespapers columns, etc.):
No job, mooching off your parents, clearing out your account, not caring about wage garnishment. You sound like the most irresponsible person I have seen here at Yahoo Answers asking questions.

If the win a judgment, the court can enforce payment when you start making money. The purchase of travelers checks is recorded and the court may order you to surrender any that have not already been used. 'Hiding' the money in your safe could be considered fraud. If the court buys that, you could face criminal charges.
