Yes - the refund is an asset - which the card company can use to offset your debt !
reporting credit delinquenciesI am a landlord. My tenant is seriously in default of her lease and is in arrears in excess of $5,500. and refuses to pay. How can I report her to the credit agencies?-----------------You will need to take her to court (small claims court) and get a judgment against her. The judgment is a legal action against her and will show up on her credit report.
If you are not a company that reports unpaid debts to the credit bureau's, you can turn the debt over to a collection agency who does report. The other way is to obtain a judgment against them and it will automatically be reported by the courts.
Depends how you look at it. They hurt your credit score the same if they are on your credit report. But they can be collected differently. If someone gets a judgment against you they can garnish your wages and take your tax refund. A charged off account is usually sent to collections and could possible be turned into a judgment. Either way, you still owe debt on both and they hurt your credit the same.
A creditor must petition the court to obtain a judgment against you for a credit card debt. If successful then the judgment is recorded in the land records. According to the chart at the link below an Ohio judgment is good for 21 years and must be brought forward in the land records by a re-recording every five years.
They are or will be the same. All institutions who do a charge off sell the paper to a collection company so they are or will be the same.
No, income tax refunds can not be held for credit card companies. Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.
Answer: If your credit card company obtains a judgment against you they may take any property of value that they can find.
Yes.
A lien cannot be placed against an individual in reality. However, a judgment creditor such as a credit card company can place a lien against real property owned by a judgment debtor. The judgment creditor can take other steps as well to collect the debt, an example would be income garnishment.
When a person is taken to civil court (for example, a credit card company suing a cardholder to get paid back), the court makes a judgment for or against the plaintiff (entity initiating the lawsuit, in this example, the credit card company). If the judgment is for the plaintiff, the result is effectively a judgment against the defendant (the person taken to court in the example). Part of the judgment is the amount that is to be paid to the entity winning the court case (judgment). Judgements against a borrower (and the amount set to be paid by that borrower) will make their way onto the credit report and will cause a drop in credit score.
Yes, if they file suit and receive a judgment the creditor can execute the judgment as a lien against the debtor's property.
No.
Umm I dont think so!!!
After the creditor wins a lawsuit and has been awarded a judgment against the debtor and then files the judgment as a wage garnishment action.
A person's wages can not be garnished unless a judgment is obtained in court against that person. People get sued all the time for credit card debt. Once the credit card company gets a judgment, then they can garnish wages.
It means that you have that on your credit report for 8 years and that they have the right to collect the judgment from you.
Yes, if the lender sues the debtor and receives a judgment award, the judgment can be executed against personal or real property owned by the judgment debtor.
