Yes you should fill out the form. There is absolutely no advantage to not filling it out and they will attempt to execute. First of all, there may be equity in your car. If not, you would still indicate the fair market value on there as well as the amount due. Put a negative number if the amount due is more than the car. Then use your exemptions to claim any personal property you own that has some value (like TVs, etc.) There would be absolutely no reason to NOT fill this out even if you have very little. It may also save you the trouble of being executed on by the Sheriff even if you have no property for them to sell and the Creditor may just give up any further attempts to collect.
