When a person is taken to civil court (for example, a credit card company suing a cardholder to get paid back), the court makes a judgment for or against the plaintiff (entity initiating the lawsuit, in this example, the credit card company).

Judgements against a borrower (and the amount set to be paid by that borrower) will make their way onto the credit report and will cause a drop in credit score.

How can you collect on civil judgments in North Carolina if you can not attach bank accounts or garnish wages?
It may be possible to place a lien against real property owned by the judgment debtor. In most states concerning a small claims judgment property liens are not allowed and the plaintiff would have to file a lawsuit in circuit court to obtain another judgment writ that could be executed as a property lien. The inability for a creditor/lender to enforce a judgment is quite common, a fact many winning plaintiffs do not discover until even more money is lost on litigation. Before pursuing litigation it would be in the best interest of the lender to discover if a judgment could be executed in a timely and productive manner, or enforced at all. Almost 90% of debtor/defendants are considered "judgment proof" when it involves creditor lawsuits.

What happens when you lose in small claims court and must pay the plaintiff?
The person will not go to jail, as such an issue is a civil matter not a criminal one. The winning plaintiff in a lawsuit is responsible for enforcing the judgment entered, the court will not do it for you, regardless of whether it is a small claims, circuit or district court case. A small claims judgment can generally be used only as a monetary recovery, only a few states allow such judgments to be executed as liens against real property. The best option is wage garnishment or bank account levy. The person must be cautious in the execution of a judgment so as not to cause impediment to exempt property belonging to the debtor or any joint property owned with someone who was not a part of the lawsuit. The clerk of the court will assist a judgment holder in obtaining the court forms and prescribed procedures needed. Please be advised, court clerks or administrators may only impart general information. They cannot (will not) give legal advice nor comment on what the best action is for a plaintiff or defendant to take.
