Dear QVC Friends & Pet Lovers,

THANKS for all your feedback.

You were all so helpful and I greatly appreciate your suggestions.

I felt well-prepared for the hearing, but unfortunately, I showed up at the wrong time ....  11AM instead of 9AM.

I figured out that since today is the 11th, I must've gotten the time mixed up with the date.  (Another senior moment! 😡)

I've pretty much been a basket case all day.

I just wanted to say THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

 

 


@RinaRina ------- well what happened ? Was it dismissed or were you given another date ?

===================================================

 

I don't know ...

I got an email from them TODAY, but I couldn't open it.

I also went to the courthouse to file a "Motion to" rehear the case but the customer service guy at the counter was so unhelpful, I broke down in tears and left.
I'll have to call tomorrow and find out ...

I believe in my city if the Plaintiff is a "no-show" the complaint is dismissed.

@RinaRina- if you have one in your area, reach out to Legal Aid to get information on how to proceed.

Re: Bait & Switch Hearing - Legal Feedback Appreciated

A,default judgement is filed in your case. You can file again but you need a good reason for not showing up.  Why didn't you confirm the date and time of your case. Didn't they give you a wriiten notice with the date and time to appear? I think I would just let it go. It seems to be affecting your daily life. Life is too short to continue down this stressful road.

===============================================

 

I did.

But when I called, the clerk asked for the case #.

Then she said, "XXXX (my last name), Jan 11?"

I said "yes".
Since the hearing was online, I had a question was about the phone-in procedure.

The "time" never came up in the conversation.  She told me to "log in 5 minutes before the hearing", which I did ... 10:55AM, instead of 8:55AM.

Regarding the "written" notice ... yes, I had the notice

The day they gave it to me, which was in NOVEMBER 2022, I saw the stamp, but, I never noticed that the clerk had stamped (some kind of court seal) over the time.  I didn't pay attention to the seal covering the time until AFTER I'd made the mistake.
All I saw was January 11, 2022 and I suppose I got "11" mixed up with 11:AM.

BTW, the case has been rescheduled.

I also found some incriminating evidence to support my case, the detail of which I can't post here.

So, I'm going to move forward ... in March.

I appreciate your concern.

THANKS for your help.

Why then do you continue to open the thread let alone post on it?
