No. It is Civil Court not Criminal Court. There will be no warrant issued.
Paying the judgment will help, but you will have to wait 7 years for the judgment to fall off your credit. Once the judgment is paid, it will show other landlords that you will fulfill your obligations, regardless of the stain on your credit.
Yes it does. It shows that eventually you do pay.
Yes. Paying back is obviously viewed better than not doing so...regardless, or maybe especially if, the amount not paid was legally discharged.
First, they have the legal authority to enter such judgments. Second, a court can issue a notice of a hearing to compel you to appear in court. If you don't it can issue a warrant for your arrest. Third, a judge can and will enter that judgment against you if you are not paying your child support on time.
Yes, Ohio allows wage garnishment by a judgment creditor.
If your sued and your creditors receive a judgment they can put a lien on your property.
No. Judgments for debt owed is a civil matter not a criminal one.
No. A warrant is not a "ticket" that you can out of by simply paying a fine. A warrant is issued for one purpose - to take you into custody - and bring you before the court.
Jail is not a penalty for not paying a bank loan. The bank can bring a judgment against the person who does not pay the loan back.
NO. A lien is nothing more than a public record that notifies other creditors that the IRS has a security interest against the Taxpayer's assets. The IRS can file a lien without ANY judicial review. And it's a civil matter, not criminal. It is similar to having your credit card company file a judgment against you for not paying (except they at least have to go to court to get a judgment).
The end result after a lot of aggravation via phone calls and mail from collection agencies could be a lawsuit. Which in 99.9% of the time the creditor/collector wins, receives a judgment and executes that judgment against any nonexempt property belonging to the defendant/debtor. Of course not all defaulted debts result in a lawsuit and judgment, but a person's credit history will always be negatively impacted for a very long time.
I assume the judgment is against you. If you held the judgment, you will have received money and that may or may not be income. If you pay a judgment against you, whether or not you can "write it off" will depend entirely on what kind of judgment it is. Also, you may be able to write it off for state tax purposes but not federal and vice versa. Usually, paying most judgments does not affect taxes.
