You get a judgment filed against you by the court, and it is recorded in public records. It can affect your credit, your ability to purchase real estate, and in some instances keep you from getting a job. The judgment amount is usually subject to interest, so the amount keeps going up.

The plaintiff will win a judgment and can obtain a judgement lien that can be recorded in the land records against any real estate you own. It cannot be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid. The plaintiff can also seize any property you own through the local sheriff's office in order to satisfy the debt.
