Debt Free or Bust

Writ of Seizure

The week I retained my attorney, I was served papers from one of the collectors (Eaton Group Attorneys) that they were going to seize the money in my bank accounts.

I called my attorney so she could stop them from carrying it out. She had already drafted a letter to that collector that had a judgment against me to cease and desist.

I hadn’t had a chance to write a post about it. I’ve been trying to focus on bigger articles on this and other blogs.

Lesson?

Once a creditor or collector has a judgment against you they can proceed with getting a writ of seizure or a writ of garnishment or both. They can force you into bankruptcy.

Even though a debt is unsecured, they can still legally come after you and take money and assets. Just because the credit card company probably won’t do it doesn’t mean the collectors they sell your debt to won’t do it.
