The writ of execution is an order directing the Sheriff to seize certain property of the debtor and sell it in a manner prescribed by law. The proceeds from the sale are used to pay the judgment.
Often, writs of execution are aimed at bank accounts, and creditor's money is simply frozen and then used to pay off the debt. Wages also can be garnished to collect the money. Any personal property of value, such as a car, televisions, electronic equipment, or tools can also be seized. The plaintiff can also file a judgment lien against your real property (land and buildings) and foreclose on the lien (process of selling the property to pay the judgment lien)
People who receive a writ of execution might be able to work out payments with the creditor, depending on the circumstances. Any repayment plan likely will be monitored and enforced by the court that issued the judgment. Once a writ of execution is issued, there is little recourse available to the debtor. In the case of dire financial circumstances, the debtor might consider bankruptcy or other legal options to stop it. These options should be discussed in depth with a qualified attorney.
