What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
Ok here is the story. I have a credit card debt from Florida from 12 years ago or so. I now live in Michigan , an attorney already took me to court ( I did not show up because I had no way to get there ) I agreed on the phone and in writing to pay the attorney $50 a month all was fine and dandy and I paid for quite a few months but being part time and minimum wage the $50 was too much so I stopped paying. About 3 months later I get a letter in the mail ( today )
Judgement
At a session of said Court, held in the city of __________ County of Macomb, state of Michigan
On ________________________
Present : HON _______________
District court Judge
This matter having come before the court upon the filing of an Affidavit of Noncompliance reflecting that Defendant has failed to comply with the Order of Settlement and Dismissal, and the Court being otherwise fully advised in the premisis:
It is hereby ordered that judgment is entered in the amount of $701.84 which represents ( they itemize the $$$'s )
This judgment resolves all pending claims between the parties and closes the case
( signed by judge )
I love how this letter does not say anywhere that I have to pay. Why can't they just use the words ( ordered to pay ) or something like that. It's so ridiculous that when they send these letters they just can't use basic English.
I DO NOT HAVE $701.84
What happens if I do not pay this? I have NO property worth while. I have no car, no house nothing valuable Oh wait I do have a $300 computer...... oh yea and my bank account has $64 in it
If I fail to pay this will they garnish my wages ( or is this beyond the wage garnishment part ) or will it get much worse like being arrested?
Please and thank you for any help and advice in this matter.
