An account is charged off before a judgment. The judgment creditor can execute the judgment against non-exempt property belonging to the debtor as a means to recover monies owed. The preferred method is wage garnishment followed by bank account levy or a lien against real property. It is also possible for the creditor to seize and sell other personal property belonging to the debtor, but creditors are generally reluctant to take such action.

Can a Credit Card Collection Agency put a lien or judgment on your credit and if so what does that mean?

If the collection agency works in tandem with a law firm (which is the case most of the time) then the answer is yes. What does this mean? If a judgment is granted by a judge, then it is the age old saying, pay me now or pay me later. Anytime your credit is ran (over the next 20 years) then it will show and credit will not be granted until the judgment is satisfied. Keep in mind if a judgment is granted interest probably continues to accrue until satisfied. If at all possible, it is best to inter into a stipulation agreement with the firm and work it out.


What should you do if you had a credit card charged off 5 years ago and you just received a summons from a state attorney suing for the amount and fees and will the judgment start the 7 years over?

A judgment is not granted until the suit is heard and the plaintiff prevails. The amount of time that a judgment remains on a credit report (7 years) has nothing to do with the length of time that a judgment is valid and can be enforced. The best option is for the defendant to discuss the individual circumstances with a qualified attorney.
