A court order to force the sale of real estate to pay a judgment is typically referred to as a "judicial sale" or "sheriff's sale." This process allows for the property to be sold in order to satisfy the outstanding judgment that the owner owes.

What happens if a collection agency sues a person and that person does not show up in court?

They get a default judgment and don't have to argue their case. Even if a person will lose, it's best if they show up and fight it. A judge is less likely to award everything a collection agency is asking for if the person in question shows up and challenges the agency (who will be asking for attorney fees and interest fees that are astronomical). It also helps to show up as collection agencies are not looking to have a long, drawn out court battle with you - they just want their money. If you show up, they will do their best to settle with you. But, they also know that 98% of people never show up so they just get a default judgment. Once they have a judgment, they have the law on their side and can force you to give up the money through wage garnishment and other sorts of unfavorable means. If you are being sued, show up!

What is the difference between a lien and a judgment?

A judgment for the most part, is a monetary award. It can be collected in various ways, garnishment of wages and/or bank accounts, is an example. It can, however take the form of a lien. A lien is applied to real property, such as a house. The property cannot be sold, borrowed against or ownership transferred until the debt that created the lien is paid in full. The lien holder can, in some cases force the sale of the property to satisfy the debt. This depends on how the property is titled, Tenants In Common, Joint Tenancy, etc.. A property that is titled Tenancy by the Entirety cannot be sold or have a lien enforced against it, unless there are joint debtors. Both will stay on your CR until they are paid and the SOL expires.


Does a court have the power to force disclosure of confidential patient information?

The court, ultimately, can do whatever it wants. The court system is the final arbiter of all laws and of what is right and what is not. While a court decision may ultimately be appealed up the chain of appellate courts sooner or later the decision the final court makes is the binding law and failure to abide by whatever that decision is would be illegal.

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.


Can residential property be levied to pay a debt?

No levy may be placed on a home or even a garnishment made unless the creditor has obtained a judgment on the debt through a court. The judgment automatically becomes a lien of property the debtor owns. The creditor then attempts to levy on the property threatening to sell it to pay the judgment debt. Some states force a judgment creditor to go after personal assets like bank accounts first before going after real estate. In that way although the lien is there, the levy cannot yet be made.
