It would still fall under civil law, but "just" a civil case could mean a serious judgment against you, garnishment of wages and possible jail should you not satisfy the judgment. Non payment of creditor judgment is not a criminal offense, therefore the person could not be incarcerated. A judgment is not a direct order of the court, once the judgment is rendered it is entirely up to the judgment creditor to collect the debt owed the court will not assist in the action. However, a person who receives goods, services or cash without intent to repay the debt incurred can be subject to charges of intent to defraud, such charges are criminal and can result in large monetary fines and imprisonment.
