If they win a suit, they can get a judgement and levy any NON exempt property only. (property not normally exempted in a bk) Whether they get a judgement and do anything further or not all depends on if the amount awarded is worth it. They can't take your home, however can put a lien on it that must be satisfied when it sells for the amt of judgement, they also cannot levy your primary car, since you are exempt on one. If you own extra assets and they find them, it is possible to levy them then they can sold to satisfy the judgement. If it is something dischargable, bk, makes collection efforts stop, and throws out the judgement as well but you will need an attorney if it gets to the point of liens on real property etc. Be careful, the next step is usually a levy on your bank account and they clean it out without warning.

They run your credit, find a bill that's current and get account info from that creditor. Then they serve the bank when they have your acct no. and empty it out.
