Best Answer

If you maxed out the credit cards deliberately, knowing you could not pay and believing you were safe from debt collection, you could be jailed.

Generally, though, it depends on your source(s) of income. SSI, SS, SSDI, retirements from qualified plans are generally safe from attachment. BUT YOU HAVE TO GO TO COURT when a hearing is scheduled. Judges are not happy when a debtor ignores the filing of a claim and then go on to ignore court hearings to determine if you can pay. That's contempt of court, and you can go to jail for that.
