You get jailed -- pure and simple. Philippine justice system may not be as sophisticated as the US, but the collection agencies for example are merciless and more relentless than in the US. They go and visit you to your house and hound you and your relatives Continue to ignore the court summons and you'll be jailed in contempt for ignoring the court. It is bad enough that you spend way more than you can't afford and collect huge unpaid credit card bills -- and then you add to that the fact that you have ignored court summons Wisen up and do the right thing -- pay your debt, go to court, and face the consequences whether jail time or what

As a matter of procedure, credit card companies monitor its past due accounts and "sells" the unpaid balance to any collecting agents at a discount. The collecting agent initially attempts to collect the balance through mail or phone call, and if no response was received, they normally file a case for non-payment. A letter to appear in court will be sent to delinquent debtor because it is a court procedure. Non-appearance may cause you additional problem. Normally payment procedure is being discussed.
