What is my recourse after wage garnishment for a car repossession?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
You live in NC and should consult with a bankruptcy attorney in your state. Florida attorneys do not know the law in NC and cannot give you legal advice concerning it. When you file a bankruptcy, regardless of the state you are in, a federal law comes into effect which prevents a creditor from proceeding with a state court action that has already been filed, or filing suit against you. They cannot try to collect money from you, but they have to have notice of the date, case number, and chapter concerning the filing of the bankruptcy petition. This is usually done by filing a "suggestion of bankruptcy" in the appropriate state court.

Will the bank modify the loan to remove the husband's name?

Diane L Drain
Answered by attorney Diane L Drain (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of D. L. Drain, P.A.
Normally the bank will not remove someone's name from the loan documents. The borrower can refinance which will remove the name. But that is a challenge in today's situation where the property is worth less than the debt. On the other hand, the title can be conveyed by the borrower, assuming there are no limitations in the loan documents. If bankruptcy is involved the conveying spouse needs to make certain they are not conveying an asset for less than fair market value. It is always wise to obtain competent bankruptcy advice before filing for bankruptcy. Most consumer bankruptcy attorneys offer free consultations.

I am suing someone, what if they claim they have no money, he is in the military and gets paid well, plus has a pension?

Once you win a judgment you generally have ten years to collect. There are several methods to collect the judgment. Some options include wage garnishments, bank levies, and attaching personal or real property so you get paid if the attached property is sold. Being a member of the military can delay payment in some circumstances, but does not prevent payment. Military wage can be garnished, but pensions are considered exempt. It is possible that if there is low income and little income that you cannot collect anything and that person becomes judgement proof.
