Is it true that if someone owes you money & if you take them to court...?

"Winning your case in court" really doesn't mean anything more than that "the law" agrees with you that some deadbeat owes you a certain amount of money.  The next step is to get an "execution" (either wage or property), and have it served by a sheriff or marshal on your debtor's employer (wage), or on his bank (property).  If he isn't working and has no property, he is "judgment proof", an you probably won't collect.  The court clerk's office should be able to help you with the paperwork, but you'll have to do the detective work yourself.  Hope this helps.

if you have a judgment then yes, they can attach your paycheck if you don't pay the judgment. So you have limited options. Pay the judgment, or let them attach your bank accounts, paychecks, assets, etc. If you did not give them any info on your bank or employer then they will have to go back to court to get that info. So you may have time before that happens. Outside of skipping town and being on the run, I'd just pay the judgment. else you have little recourse with the courts.

`For small amounts of money, one of the disputants might just decide it isn't worth the cost of fight and settle.\n\nFor large amounts of money, they might decide to go to court.

If you owe the court money that was assessed as part of your sentencing, you could have your driver license suspended, or a warrant could be issued(capias) for your arrest.\n\nBetter to get hold of them before they "get a hold of you."  They are willing in most cases to work with you, but don't wait for them to contact you, YOU contact them.\n\n\nDear Old Dad

The court is going to uphold the ticket.  You're better off to just pay it (the correct amount which the court can give you) and not make any enemies because he WILL know if you fight it.

Yes, but sue them for the repayment first.
1096792
Yes they can.  They check to make sure that you're not overdrawn and owe them more money.

Yes. First they have to get a deficiency judgment against you for the difference in court. Before they sue you for it try to negotiate a plan to repay the balance with the finance company or bank.

Technically, yes they can sue you for not making the proper payment. If you are at least making payments, the chances of them actually suing you are slim to nil.They will however continue to contact you trying to get the full payment. What I would recommend is for you to contact an account rep, explain your situation and see what they can do to help. When you just send a lower payment in instead of the full amount, they will charge penalties and interest, but if you speak with them and make other arrangements, in most cases they can and will lower the interest and also remove the extra fees. As long as you are willing to make the payments, they are willing to help.

The court has to make you pay.  Don't listen to someone who is leaving you.  Get a lawyer.

Well it would probably depend who you borrowed it from but if you stop paying, they will most likely take you to court and all will be decided there.

If you told Friend of the Court you are employed and where, they will take care of the rest.  You might want to mention to your employer that your wages will be getting garnished and you are aware of it.

he'll probably send your bill to a collection agency then if you don't pay yes, he can sue you.\njust pay the bill-even if you pay in payments.

Absolutely!  Just about anyone can sue anyone for anything!  Whether the plaintiff wins or not is always open to the decision of the court. \n\nIf you owe medical expenses they can sue you.  The judge, if he/she rules in favor of the plaintiff, there are several options available upon judgment.  A few of these area:\n\n1.  Attach (lien) of any real property (land, homes, etc.) In extreme cases you may be forced to sell the property.              \n2.  Garnishment of wages.\n3   Attach (lien) of vehicle (not usually done).\n4.  Interest and late fees.\n5.  Notices filed with public access in county recorder's office.\n6.  Credit  agencies always receives these notices.\n\nIt is always best if you can settle without going to court to arrange the payment of the debt.

Yes, if the debts have not been made within 2 months prior to filing. Judges really frown on getting loans and then filing for BK up to 2 months later.

In reality or in theory?\n\nIn theory, you could track her down and begin proceedings against her.\n\nIn reality, the above would just be throwing good money after bad and wasting you time.\n\nIf she denies you LENDING her the money, can you prove you didn't give it to her out of the kindness of your heart. In fact can you prove you gave her anything at all?\nIf she doesn't have the money, you are not going to get it back\nIf she is out of the country, you are going to find it hard to find her\nIf the police are after her for theft, you are not even going to be the only person in line for payment.\n\nI hate to say this, but I think although you can register this with the police, you might not want to waste too much more of your time/effort/emotions/money in this.\n\nTime to move on with better frinds.

....you have to give more details.  "detaching pay" before court date?  Do you mean taking money from your check?  Why would they take money from your check?  Child support? what?  \nPlease explain the problem in more detail.
