My question is this: 1) Do I need to find an attorney? 2)Do I really need to appear? 3) What does the issuance of a judgment really mean?
Any advice would be appreciated.
1. Its up to you to find an attorney or not. You can just as wel
1. Its up to you to find an attorney or not. You can just as well do without one but if you feel a little more confident appearing in court with an attorney, you should get one.
2. Its up to you again but in my opinion, you should appear in court. Use any valid defense you may have. If you don't appear in court, nobody has anything much to say and a default judgment is awarded to the plaintiff (MSW Cap/Chase)
3. A judgment or a default judgment against you would mean that MSW Cap/Chase can garnish your wages and put a lien on your assets. A judgment would also appear on your credit report and you might have a hard time finding easy credit after that.
Since you live in Texas, your wages cannot be garnished. However
Since you live in Texas, your wages cannot be garnished.
However your bank account(s) can be seized.
How long has it been since you have paid on this account?
