Q: Do I have to appear at a credit card deposition?
A:
Pretty impossible to answer your question without more context about your situation. I'll presume, however, that you've been sued by a credit card company for a bad debt, and the credit card company has scheduled your deposition in a civil case against you.
No, you don't have to appear -- but if you don't, there will be consequences you might want to avoid. If you don't appear, the attorney for the credit card company can file a motion with the court asking the court to order your appearance. And/or a motion could be filed asking the court simply to enter a monetary judgment against you for the amount sought by the credit card company for your failure to follow court rules. Bottom line, if you want to avoid an outright default judgment against you, you'll need to play by the court rules.
Best of luck to you.
