Expert: Terry Leeders - 8/20/2007
Questionif a civil or small claims court issues an order or judgement
for a plaintiff in a civil action that claims that he is entitled to sieze property or belonging or tangible goods such as household furntiure or material goods or store bought items
, if they r not found in my apt , can the creditor seize or take other stuff such as my other furniture?
in any case , how would they determine which items r subect to seizure, - how would they distinguish between my own personal items and the claimed sutff on the receipts?
does the answer to this depend on whether the furniture si the same brand or not as the one listed on the receipt that the creditor used to obtain the judgement?
but even this is not absolute ,becuase the same brand can be bought by many customers.
which property is exempt?
is exempt property exempt even if it is the subject of the seizure order?
e.g. tools that i need or small appliances or a bed i sleep on?
can cash be seized when material things r not found?
what if im on disability and "judgement proof"
what determines who is J proof?
AnswerIs this a bankruptcy question?
Bankruptcy would discharge a judgment, unless it was for fraud or if they put a lien on your home.
It sounds like you are asking about what you can exempt from judgment. That is based on state law exemptions available.
Normally, they like to freeze bank accounts and then garnish wages in most cases.
A bankruptcy can stop this once filed.
