Illinois Summons To Confirm Judgment by Confession is a legal document issued by the court that requires the debtor to appear before the court and answer to the creditor's claims. The document is used when the debtor has confessed to owing the debt, but has not yet paid it. It is also used when the creditor has obtained a judgment against the debtor and wants to confirm it. There are two types of Illinois Summons To Confirm Judgment by Confession: the original summons and the supplemental summons. The original summons is issued when the court is attempting to establish the debt amount and terms. The supplemental summons is issued when the court is attempting to collect the debt from the debtor. Both summonses require the debtor to appear before the court and answer the creditor's claims.
