What can happen if there is a judgment against you and you cannot pay?
A judgment creditor can execute the judgment in whatever methods are allowed under the laws of the state in which the judgment debtor resides. The preferred method is by wage garnishment. Other possible methods are, levy of bank accounts (including those that are joint) seizure and liquidation of non exempt property belonging to the debtor and a lien against real property or the portion of such that is owned by the debtor.

Possibly, but not directly. First they would be required to seek judgment against the debtor for the unpaid balance, for which he would receive summons to appear in court. In the time it takes for this to happen, the debtor could file bankruptcy, effectively protecting any remaining assetts they hold.

If neither of those remedies apply the creditor can seize and liqudate non exempt property belonging to the debtor, or place a lien against real property (jointly owned property can usually be attached by a creditor lien).
What will happen if you do not show up for court when being sued by collection agency or credit card company?
The defendant is not required to make an appearance in a creditor suit, but if he or she does not appear the plaintiff (creditor) will win by default and a judgment will be entered against the debtor. FYI, unless the defendant has undisputable evidence that the suit is faulty (debt not valid, wrong person being sued, etc.) it will make no difference in the outcome whether the defendant debtor appears or not, the plaintiff will be awarded a judgment.
What will happen to you if you are sued for credit card debt?
The attorney representing the creditor states the facts of the case, the debtor is allowed to defend his or her position. The only legal defense for nonpayment of debt, is that the debt itself is not valid. Although it is difficult to understand, the inability of the debtor to pay due to a job loss, injury, illness, or other personal difficulties, is not accepted as a viable reason for not paying one's debts. The named defendant does not have to appear in court when it pertains to a creditor lawsuit. However, a nonappearance will result in the plaintiff being awarded a default judgment against the debtor/defendant. The creditor can then execute the judgment against any nonexempt property belonging to said debtor.

If you have bad credit no insurance no property or residence and your car is stolen what will happen if you stop making payments?
1, FILE a stolen car report with the cops. Then IF it was really stolen, the lender can collect the ins. and then your bad credit will go to Worse credit. And they cant find you 'cause you have no residence.Well, given the situation you describe, likely all the lender could do is get a judgment against the debtor. IF the debtor ever works, they could garnishee their wages.
