Re: Collections Agency Harrassment
Usually, a collection agency might obtain a judgment against you for the amount of the debt anc court costs plus expenses. This judgment can be recorded as a lien, but is NOT effective in any way, shape or form against the homestead or the proceeds of the sale for 6 months.
