A judgment against you means that a court has ruled in favor of the plaintiff in a legal case, determining that you owe a debt or are liable for damages. This decision can lead to various consequences, such as wage garnishment, bank account levies, or liens against your property. Additionally, it can negatively impact your credit score and make it harder to secure loans or credit in the future.

What does a judgment mean on an unsecured credit card?

It means the creditor has won a lawsuit, been awarded a writ of judgment and can execute the judgment against non-exempt assets and property as defined by state law that belongs to the judgment debtor. The preferred method of executing a judgment is by wage garnishment, followed by bank account levy, the seizure and liquidation of non-exempt property and liens against real property. The state exemptions allowed for personal and real property when properly used can give the defendant/debtor considerable protection against the enforcement of a creditor judgment.
