Virtually 100%. When/how long? That's the question. Usually within 2-3 months, but not always. The state in which you reside has laws (statute of limitation) dictating how long the term can be, and whether or not you make efforts toward repayment.
I live in NC an my debt is in the amount of 12000 and MRS Associates is trying to settle for 6900. Should i settle? Not sure what to do.
yes, as this would make it easier to obtain a judgment and/or wage garnishment for whatever is owed.
No you cannot remove a repossession off your credit report if your cosigner has a judgement on the repossession.
yes
A judgment lien is an involuntary lien.
There are no legal differences between the borrower voluntarily relinquishing a vehicle or the lender having to initiate repossession action (with perhaps the exception of additional monetary charges). If an outstanding balance remains on the original loan amount after the vehicle is sold at public auction the lender can file suit to gain a judgment against the borrower for the amount still owed. If a judgment is awarded the judgment creditor may execute it according to the laws of the state. This being the case it is possible for a judgment holder to place a lien against real property owned by the judgment debtor.
A voluntary judgment occurs when the debtor agrees to the charges against them from their creditor. A court will act as a mediator to finalize a payment arrangement that the debtor offers to the creditor.
Yes, the lender can file suit for the outstanding amount and if they receive a judgment they can execute the judgment in the manner in which the laws of the judgment debtor's state allow.
If the lender decides to sue the borrower and wins a judgment, the judgment can be executed as a wage garnishment
Yes, if the lender wins a lawsuit judgment they can execute the judgment as a wage garnishment. Georgia follows federal garnishment guidelines of a maximum of 25% of disposable income with the first $154.50 (weekly based) being exempt from garnishment action. A valid garnishment is generally imposed until the debt is paid.
7 years if there is no "new action" on the particular account. "New action" means if you were to start paying on it or if the financier were to get a Court judgment on the loan. By the way.......A voluntary repossession (turning in the car before it go to collections) is the SAME as a regular repo. It will be listed on your credit in the same manner unless tou have negotiated a new termination clause wiyh the lender.
Call a local attorney for state specific advice on the SOL.
YES, if they get a judgment against you, garnishment is next.
