Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania
Civil action Hearing
I was issued a civil action hearing notice, One of my creditors, is filing action against me. The notice says if i do not enter a defence i will have a judgement of default. My question is what can happen if they pass a default judgement against me. Can they garnish my joint checking account even if my husband is the primary person on that account? I guess my real Question is what is the worst thing that could happen?
Thank You,
doris

Re: Civil action Hearing
once u let them have their judgment, they sell your house of car to satisfy the judgment and u have to run off to bankruptcy court. joint accounts are not attachable for personal debt, but watch out for fraudulent transfers.
