A person could seek a judgement against the government in the same fashion they would see judgement against anyone else. A file would be made against the government or government faction and be taken up in a court of law.
They could be required to if you have a judgment against you.
Yes. Federally funded student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
No, if you hit the lotto you should be able to pay the judgment in full, I hope? LOL
If you are married, you are still a legal entity with the other person, so a judgment filed against them would also have your name on it. Be sure to include some verbiage in your divorce agreement about it, and if possible, arrange to have it paid from any joint monies before sorting out the settlement. Obtain a copy of the "paid" letter for your records.
You would need to bring an action in court and obtain a judgment against the owner. The judgment could be recorded in the land records and would perfect your lien against the property.
If the account is considered in default because the payments were not the minimum required, then a creditor has the option to pursue litigation against a debtor. Before a creditor could garnish the wages of a debtor a lawsuit would have to be undertaken and a judgment entered against the debtor. The judgment could possibly be executed as a wage garnishment according to the laws of the debtor's state of residency.
You question already describes the worst case scenario. The unsecured creditor hires an attorney, spends money to get a judgment and then can't collect the judgment. It is possible that the debtor may become solvent again. Then again, that person could also file for bankruptcy and the discharge could bar you from ever collecting that debt.
Yes.
You could sue and get a judgment, but most states would not allow you to garnish the disability benefits to collect the judgment. If the person on disability had other assets like a house, you could go after those assets. If the person IS on disability, they might not HAVE other assets to go after.
How could i file a judgement against a family member. I co-signed for a school loan for this family member and she is not paying the bill.
You could petition the appropriate court for a judgment against that person. If you are successful the court will issue a order that can be recorded against the real estate in the land records. Your lien would take its place behind any other outstanding liens that have already been recorded against that person.
The government all ready did with the Clean Air Act, but Trump has eroded the act and put a man in charge of the EPA who is against any environmental protection laws.
