May pinadalang summon sa akin ang collecting firm ng isang bangko (bank) dahil sa di ko pa nabayaran ang credit cards ko. Maari bang ipagpaliban ko muna ang pagpunta? Ano ang pwede nila ikaso sa akin kung di ako makasipot sa summon na pinadala nila galing korte?Thank you po

Hindi ko maintindihan ang iyong kuwento. You said, it was the collecting firm that sent you the summons? Only a court can issue summonses. And a court can only issue you a summons if you are being sued. I presumed that you are being sued in connection with an unpaid debt.
Well, the summons is usually accompanied with the copy of the complaint or petition filed against you. The summons will direct you to file an Answer within ten days. If you ignore the summons and you do not file an Answer, you will be declared in default. You will lose your right to present evidence and only the evidence of the complainant (the bank) will be considered by the court.
It is best to consult with a lawyer.
