Judgement Court Date

[2ply]

I have been served papers to appear in court this thurs. for credit card debit. Today I received papers from this law firm stating if I sign and have a notary sign looks like a paper for judgement and to make payments to them. If I sign these they say I wont have to appear in court. Should I sign them or apper in court? Will they garnish my wages? I am filing 7 as soon as I get my tax return. Any info thanks in advance!

If you sign that paper, you are GIVING them the easy default judgment they're after anyway !

Can they garnish your wages ?? I don't know, YOU DID NOT LIST YOUR STATE PER THE BOARD REQUIREMENTS, so no way to know.

How much do you owe ?
Who is the creditor ?
When did you last pay the ORIGINAL creditor ?
What state are you in ????

Of course you won't have to appear in court if you sign them, because you automatically lose in court if you do that. If you sign the papers, then they have a judgment against you, and you lose all opportunity to argue your case in court. You may want to think about it before doing it. Maybe the amount ion the judgment is not right, or maybe they didn't serve you properly . There are many things that could be incorrect, but you can't argue any of them if you sign the papers. If you sign the papers, then yes, they can then garnish you. Of course, if you proceed to court and lose, they can still garnish you, but it will be a month or two later. Also, if you file bankruptcy, that judgment can still be collected on after the bankrtuptcy uinless you file a release of lein after the bankrutpcy. So if possible, you want to avoid a judgment.
