Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Re: judgements

The New York City Marshals Handbook of Regulations (available online at http://www.nyc.gov/html/doi/html/marshals/mar1.html) provides an extensive explanation of what a NYC Marshal may and may not do to enforce a writ of execution with respect to a judgment.

A judgment debtor (person owing $$$ on a judgment) in NY is also entitled to certain exemptions from execution of a money judgment that will typically shelter many/most of the typical possessions found in the home of the "average" middle class New Yorker in NYC (assuming value of property not in excess of permissible exemptions).

The foregoing is not intended as legal advice for your specific situation. Facts and circumstances not disclosed in your brief posting may materially affect your rights. You should consult with an attorney.
