Can you be taken to jail for a judgment?

I fell behind and was unable to pay back a paydayloan. The payday loan company has charged off my debt as a bad debt and referred it to a collection ageny. This collection agency has threatened to serve me a court summons at my place of work. Can they do this?

I signed a judgment against me from dss of orange county.3 years ago for an over payment ..I have not made payments on it yet.can they take my tax return.
also on this judgment paper there is no judges name just a lawer signature why is that.?

I took out one of those cash advance loans. I paid on it a while then couldnt afford the fees every week so I stopped paying now 2 years later a collection agency is thating me to court for unpaid loan and worthless check (they took the fees out of my checking account which was closed due to overdraft from all the fees). I know the laws about cash advances have changed in NC. I am unemployed now and get repay.. Any help as what to do?

I had a credit card in my name only. Couldn't pay . I'm disabled and haven't been able to work since my accident 18 years ago. . My husband filed chapter 7 and I didn't , but he put my judgment bill on his bankruptcy before it became a judgment.. He is my only source of income . He doesn't pay me but pays the bills and nothing more to me. We are married now and was when I first took the cred card. I just found out there is a default judgment against my house that I have had for 29 years. I will never be able to work to repay. I remember 3 years ago when I came home from back east taking care of my sick father after his surgery. My husband signed for a letter from this credit card saying they were taking me to court . The court date was when I was gone. When I read it It was already to late. Like 3 weeks to late . I called and ask the court about the # and they said they had nothing on it . I thought the credit card company was trying to scare me into paying, and just forgot about it . Now I looked up my property info and there is a judgment against my house. This was discharged on my husbands bankruptcy. What do I do now.

IF SOMEONE SOLD ME AN ITEM, AND COME TO FIND OUT HE HAD NOT PAID FOR IT AND THERE WAS A JUDGMENT AGAINST IT FOR THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE LOAN, CAN THEY THEN COME REPOSESS IT FROM ME?

can they take my income taxes? The bills are medical after my insurance paid there part of the bills.

I was given a notice of a levy on my account but i was never served with any papers so i could go to court. i knew nothing of this until i recieved the letter from my bank stating that thier was a levy on my account. What can i do?

I was disputing the amount on my credit card because it was so high and the credit card company stops sending me statement monthly & I just found out It is already in collection. I hired for credit repair but nothing was done. I know the judgment amount was wrong & I was not inform on this. Can I still inquire to a lawyer before any deduction on my payroll? Please help...Thnaks

I had a car that was impounded in NYC and was under lien from a certain bank. I did abandon it but took off the tag number and mailed it to the DMV. Prior to that, I called the bank and told them that I am surrendering it since I cannot pay it anymore. I gave them the exact place where they can pick it up (through my cousin since I live in SC.) However, at the time that they called my cousin, they were in other state for a vacation. I have not paid the car in 5 months already, so I decided to surrender it finally. I want to know if I can be put to prison for this, since they are charging me for lack of payment and abandonment,although I really did not abandon it since I already called them and inform of my situation.

Can I ask for a Validation of the debt? Also, I am in PA, Can I send a Judgment Proofing Letter? I am a 62 year old Disabled woman. Only SS to live on, this can be proven.
Do I need a Civil Defense Attorney to handle all of this?

if nco calls you on phone, and leaves voicemail for you to return there call, and gives you 72 hrs to respond or else the company may take more agressive matters to collect a debt that is owed to them. if you work, can they take your whole paycheck until balance is paid off, or could they try to take your federal or state income tax.or is it better to file chapter 13 bankruptcy

I have full intention of paying the bills I cannot urrently afford to pay. What should I do?

I was checking my credit report and I saw a judgement had been filed for an old credit card. The original creditor never sold my account to a third party and had closed the account as a loss. When I checked with the local courts nothing had been filed with them regarding a judgment and nothing was reported on any public records.

How should I address this matter, since I did not receive a summons and there is no record of a court case? FYI: The judgment notice only appears on Experian and not Transunion or Equifax reports.

the court had my money in the bank on hold for about 2 months now im n the process of doing bankrupcy to get this out of my life they took all my money from my check out of my bank account can i get that back after my bankrupcy?
