Okay, let's clarify something here:

An EVICTION is a court hearing initiated by a landlord for violation of lease terms, for example, non-payment of rent

A WRIT OF POSSESSION is a court ordered WRIT (that is, an order signed by a Judge) for the landlord to take possession of the rental property.

The landlord must obtain such writ after he wins a judgment in the case (this is done either by default judgment or after a hearing before the Judge or Magistrate). Once that writ is obtained the landlord may force you out, even if you paid the amount of rent in question. Remember, if a writ was obtained, about a month has already passed after your rent was due, hence the eviction. Your landlord has the option to accept the money and give you back your home or continue to force you to leave. Even if he forces you to leave the rent was still past due. However, the landlord has only a few days to get the writ after he has won the judgment, and then only a few days to have the Sheriff or Constable force you out.

Yes, provided there is an outstanding judgment against you. Without the judgment, neither the agency nor the original creditor has any recourse for garnishment, and will not be able to obtain an order for garnishment.


Can eviction hurt your credit for life?

Most of the time it won't unless the managers or owner ran a credit check before you moved in, if so it would be listed as "public record" on your credit report because they had to file an eviction notice at the courthouse in order to get you out.AnswerThe actual eviction does not show up in the body of a credit bureau credit report. If a judgment for nonpayment is granted for unpaid rent or other cause, that judgment appears on the credit report under public records. The actual eviction will not. However, most landlords now use third party agencies to obtain the credit bureau credit information and combine it with court records(public information about filings, not just judgments.) Those 3rd party reports often include followup with former landlords. Thus the disclosure of evictions. Good luck!


Is there statute of limitations on the amount that can be added to an outstanding debt by the collections attorney?

States establish laws that regulate the percentage of interest that can be charged on a judgment, but the interest on the debt will continue to accrue until the debt is paid. Attorneys do not receive the money awarded in a judgment, they are a contracted or contingency legal representative of the original creditor or third party collector.

Can a lien be placed on a house for voluntary repossession the state of Texas?

There are no legal differences between the borrower voluntarily relinquishing a vehicle or the lender having to initiate repossession action (with perhaps the exception of additional monetary charges). If an outstanding balance remains on the original loan amount after the vehicle is sold at public auction the lender can file suit to gain a judgment against the borrower for the amount still owed. If a judgment is awarded the judgment creditor may execute it according to the laws of the state. This being the case it is possible for a judgment holder to place a lien against real property owned by the judgment debtor.
