Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

What are my legal right when I have to appear in court , for judement in failure
I sold a car to a lady. After several weeks she returned it and informed that their was a leak in the engine, and that I had taken advantgage of her, as I knew about the leak. She informed that her mechanic had told her their wwas lead from from the engine.

So the car was returned to me. I told her I would reurn the money to her. How ever before I was able I lost my busines. So I have been to court two time, and this is the third judgemnt that was severed by the sheriff office.

I still haven't been able to come up with the $3k, but I will be able in about three weeks, as I now have a job as a commission financial officer.

But because I ahven't been able to keep my word, she feel I am trying to rip her off, which isn't the case, it has taken a great dela of time to secure employment, as her judgement showed up in my credit, and I have been turned down several time for a job as of result of this judement showing up.

What recourse do I have, I don't haven't any assets, no salary , only commisisions. Which is three to four weeks away from my being paid?

Please advise

You have several options, as I see it, as follows:

1. You can continue to negotiate with her. She has the power to temporarily suspend the collections process;

2. You can file bankruptcy, which may allow you to completely wipe out this liability; or

3. You can appeal the judgment, if you have the basis to do so.

If you want more detailed answers, or want my assistance for any of the above, please call me at 1-877-568-2977 or email me.
