NORTH CAROLINA A judgment is a lien on real property for ten years from the entry date. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-234.
Creditors can potentially garnish wages after 7 years, depending on the type of debt and state laws. The “7-Year Rule” often causes confusion, but it doesn't universally apply to all debts. Federal debts like student loans and taxes can be collected beyond 7 years, while state laws vary on judgment enforcement periods.
Dear (Creditor's Name), I am writing to formally request the cessation of wage garnishment related to my account number (Your Account Number). Due to (briefly explain your situation, eg, ``a recent job loss'' or ``significant financial hardship''), I am unable to meet my current financial obligations.
To challenge a wage garnishment, you simply need to file paperwork with the clerk of the court that granted the garnishment order. If you plan to do this, act quickly. Depending on your state, you may have as few as five business days to file a claim of exemption or similar paperwork.
A writ of garnishment is a process by which the court orders the seizure or attachment of the property of a defendant or judgment debtor in the possession or control of a third party. The garnishee is the person or corporation in possession of the property of the defendant or judgment debtor.
Yes, a lien may be placed on property that is jointly owned. However, the effects of that lien depend on the type of ownership that the property is under. Before discussing the terms of joint ownership, it's important that you understand exactly what liens are and what they may mean for you and your investment.
And even if the party being sued does respond, many times there is not much of a defense that can be made. 10 days following the judgment, the creditor becomes a judgment creditor and can begin the wage garnishment process.
In a debt collection lawsuit, a judgment is a court order that allows the debt collector to use stronger tools, like garnishment, to collect the debt. A judgment is an official result of a lawsuit in court.
More info
A judgment lien arises when a court rules you owe a debt, allowing the creditor to claim your nonexempt property until the debt is paid. Having a judgment filed against you brings with it a new level of debt collection.Thankfully, there are some things you can do to ease the pain. This means you either complete the terms of the judgment (i.e. , through wage garnishment or property lien) or come to a settlement. The law provides that certain property and wages cannot be taken in garnishment. The executed WRIT OF. GARNISHMENT must have attached the NOTICE TO DEFENDANT OF RIGHT AGAINST. A creditor has to get a judgment against you to get a lien on your property to force a foreclosure. If the judgment debtor does not voluntarily pay the judgment, however, it is up to the judgment creditor to enforce. A judgment is not self-enforcing.
