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.
No
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.
Only if the credit card is assigned to the business as a company card.
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, and its always against you
Answer: If your credit card company obtains a judgment against you they may take any property of value that they can find.
The short answer to this question is YES.
...you...my...?When I die, your credit card companies have absolutely nothing to do with the situation.When I die my credit card companies will take whatever I owe them.
A person is in credit card debt when they have charges on their credit card and can not pay them. A person can make charges on a credit card and make payments at a later date. When a person charges on their credit card, the charge is now a debt that must be paid.
They go before a judge and explain how the payment for that credit card was not made and what is owed including collection costs. The cost of judgment is then added to the total and that becomes the collectors judgment. That stays on your credit report for a long time so avoid!
No one. The person left is not responsible for the debt. The credit cards want people to think that the family owes for the deceased debt, but they don't.
