A: You should never "Ignore" anything from the courts. If you have filed a Bky, it is your, or your attys duty to provide notice to all parties. A Suggestion of Bky should be filed in the State/County based actions. This will cancel the Pretrial Conf.

A: If you ignore it, then most likely a default will be granted against you. It is better to appear and demand trial so that you can argue your position to the judge. You do nto have to agree to anything at the pretrial. They will probably send you to mediation. Ask a consumer law attorney to review the lawsuit packet to determine if they will take your case.
