Goodday. I recieved a summons in 2019 but i was away for the last 3 years. Did the summons fall away or do i still need to pay it. I did not receive any other paperwork or contact from anyone after the summons. It was for a credit card.

Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.

No, a summons does not simply fall away. 

Att. Patrick 

Please remember this is a dialog if you have follow-up questions please make the required payment, then use the REPLY button and ask your further question. I would like to continue assisting you, but I need to concentrate on people who make payments for their questions.
