Pennsylvania HB801 establishes rules for consumer debt default judgments in civil actions.
HB801, known as the Uniform Consumer Debt Default Judgments Act, sets forth requirements for default judgments in consumer debt cases. It mandates that a separate notice must accompany the complaint, warning the consumer that a default judgment may be entered if they do not respond. The notice must detail the potential consequences of a default judgment, including the possibility of property seizure and long-term financial impact.
