I live in Hawaii.
I have credit card debt $30,000. Some of monthly payment for these credit cards are extremely delayed.

I have a car secured by automobile loan company. Remaining loan amount is $15,000, but the actual market value of the car $12,000.
Thus, equity in this car is
minus $3,000. Monthly payment on this car loan has been done on time so far.

One of credit card comapny sued me recently.

Question: Can unsecured creditor garnish my car with a Court Order?

In general, a debtor may claim exemption of his homestead and certain personal property from attachment and execution of a judgment, or in a bankruptcy proceeding.

For a single person, such homestead exemption is $20,000. If the real property is jointly owned by more than one party, only one exemption may be claimed. (HRS 651-92.)
Personal property which may be exempt from levy or sale upon execution, writ of attachment or any process issuing out of any court in the State of Hawaii may include all necessary household furnishings and appliances, books and wearing apparel of the debtor and his family members, jewelry, watches, and items of personal adornment up to an aggregate cash value of $1,000; one motor vehicle up to a value of $1,000 over and above all liens on the vehicle; any combination of tools, implements, instruments, uniforms, furnishing, books, equipment, and any other personal property that are necessary for the debtor's operation of his trade, business, or profession by which he earns his livelihood; one parcel of land, not exceeding 250 sq. ft. in size, in a graveyard; sale proceeds from debtor's property procured six months prior to the execution of the judgment; and wages which were earned within 31 days of the date before the date of the proceeding.
