Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Re: Civil Money Judgement

They can't do much to you, and any threat of suit is probably an empty one. On the other hand, they could notify Texas DMV, but even that isn't very likely. I would ignore it unless planning to come back to California.

Re: Civil Money Judgement

Thanks for your posting. For the most part, unless there was a warrant for your arrest for failure to appear, which can be filed as a crime, you just have a civil judgment. The court, directly or through the collections agency, can put the failure to pay on your credit report, or can get a "sister state judgment" and garnish wages, or take property in Texas, although that would be rare. If you would like me to handle any part of this here in California, please let my office know and I'd be happy to help. You can also call me toll free at 1-877-568-2977 or email me if you have other questions.
