Re: credit card collections
If the CC Company files suit against you and procures a judgment -- they make seek to satisfy that judgment by garnishing your assets. Certain property is exempt and you would have the right to contest such a garnishment. For example, your car may be exempted if you depend on it for your livelihood. The most popular tactic is to garnish a percentage of your wages. The joint accounts become much trickier, depending upon the relationship of the people on the accounts and their responsibility for the debt.
If you have an action pending against you -- we offer Debt Defense for a reduced fee.
