It means the creditor has won a lawsuit, been awarded a writ of judgment and can execute the judgment against non-exempt assets and property as defined by state law that belongs to the judgment debtor. The preferred method of executing a judgment is by wage garnishment, followed by bank account levy, the seizure and liquidation of non-exempt property and liens against real property. The state exemptions allowed for personal and real property when properly used can give the defendant/debtor considerable protection against the enforcement of a creditor judgment.

In Missouri can a credit card company freeze your bank account for unsecured debt that is not paid?
Yes, if the creditor sues the debtor and wins a judgment, the judgment can be enforced as a bank account levy. Unsecured debt simply indicates that there is no specific property attached to the debt, it does not mean that a creditor cannot use a judgment to seize any non exempted property belonging to the judgment debtor. In some states including Missouri, joint marital bank accounts (unless otherwise stated), are considered to be held as Tenancy By The Entirety. This means that a joint marital TBE account cannot be levied when only one spouse is the named as the judgment debtor.
In Indiana can you go to jail for unpaid credit card debt?
A debtor cannot be criminally prosecuted for unpaid debt unless he or she incurred said debt fraudulently.It is a myth that creditors (credit card issuers) do not have recourse to collect the debt owed. Credit cards are considered unsecure debt because their is no specific collateral attached, such as a vehicle. The creditor can file a civil suit against the debtor and if awarded a judgment can execute it in the manner allowed by the judgment debtor's state.Some ways of collecting a judgment are, garnishment of wages or levy of bank accounts or seizure and sale of unexempt personal property or a lien against real property owned by the debtor.What Does Unsecured Debt Mean?A loan not secured by an underlying asset or collateral. Unsecured debt is the opposite of secured debt.The concept of unsecured debt is easily understood when its opposite is considered. A good example of secured debt would be a mortgage. The bank loans out money to a lender who uses it to buy a house; the house becomes the asset backing the loan.In the case of unsecured debt, a lender loans money without the security that an underlying asset provides. For this reason, unsecured debt carries more risk for the lender, which in turn makes the loan more expensive. The more additional risk that a lender must take on, the higher the rate of interest a borrower must pay, making unsecured loans subject to higher rates.Hope this helps

Can a Credit Card Collection Agency put a lien or judgment on your credit and if so what does that mean?
If the collection agency works in tandem with a law firm (which is the case most of the time) then the answer is yes. What does this mean? If a judgment is granted by a judge, then it is the age old saying, pay me now or pay me later. Anytime your credit is ran (over the next 20 years) then it will show and credit will not be granted until the judgment is satisfied. Keep in mind if a judgment is granted interest probably continues to accrue until satisfied. If at all possible, it is best to inter into a stipulation agreement with the firm and work it out.
