Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

Civil Law - sheriff sale

I won a district magistrate case the it was appealed and the other person won. It went to abritration and that person still won. I received a letter stating if I do not pay with in 3 days from today that writ of execution will be filed in the courthouse for sheriff sale in order to obtain payment. I own nothing, no car, no house. Only the clothes on my back. I live with a friend and don't even own any furniture or appliances. What can this person take from me? the clothes on my back???

Nope, clothing is one of the exemptions. You will get a list of exemptions with the Writ along with a form to claim them.
