If you are making payments on your car can it be seized to pay a judgment?

Yes, if the vehicle is not protected by the state's exemption amount. If the judgment is not by the lender who holds the lien on said vehicle it is unlikely that the judgment debtor would engage in such action especially if there are other means of enforcing the judgment writ, such as garnishment of wages or levy of a bank account. I don't understand what is the exemption amount?


How do you file for a bank account lien in South Carolina if you have no other means of enforcing a judgment?

It's not called a lien. A lien is against real property. I believe you are talking about a levy. You have to know what bank the account is drawn on and then file the appropriate paperwork with the court to enforce the judgment and freeze the account.


What does aid in execution mean?

Something in "aid of execution" is a court pleading or action to do something to enforce a court judgment. Enforcing a judgment, whether one for money damages or for eviction, is done by execution on the judgment. A judgment holder on a debt can execute the judgment by attaching the defendant's assets or garnishing salary. One way to force payment is to execute or levy on a defendant's assets. Sometimes the location of those assets is unknown and a court will give the judgment holder the right to bring the defendant in to declare his assets and tell where they are. Not every state will do this. The judgment holder applies for an order to compel the defendant to appear. This in an effort to aid in the execution of the judgment. hence the phrase.


Do you have to pay the court cost on a judgment?

It's really not a matter of "having to pay". The judgment creditor has the legal right to execute the judgment in whatever manner is allowed under the laws of the debtor's state. The preferred method of enforcing a judgment is wage garnishment followed by, bank account levy or seizure and sale of non exempt property belonging to the debtor or lien against real property belonging to the debtor. FYI, in terms of the court ordered judgment, the debtor is not subject to action by the court if the judgment is not satisfied.

If wage garnishment is in place by the IRS can another creditor with a judgment levy my bank account?

Yes, the debtor's bank account could still be subjected to levy by a judgment creditor. Garnishments and levies must run consecutively, meaning that there cannot be multiple creditors enforcing judgments at the same time in the same manner.


What can be taken from you in a judgment?

State laws dictate what personal and real items belonging to a debtor are exempt from execution of a judgment writ. The preferred method of judgment creditors for enforcing the writ is wage garnishment or bank account levy against the judgment debtor. Generally the same property that is exempted in bankruptcy proceedings will also be exempted from attachment by a judgment creditor. It is in the best interest of the judgment debtor to obtain legal advice if faced with such a situation. The debtor's property is NOT automatically protected they need to file documents required by the court to keep exempted property from being possibly seized for sale or encumbered by liens.
