VERY scared....please help

pa
I am being sued in a few days for a credit card debt of $5,000 and I can not pay as I lost my job. I am so scared they will come and take all my household things away. I do not own a house or property or a car. Only personal stuff. Can they do this to me? Please if anyone has been through this please help me if you can.

Thank you so much whoever replys!!

If a Judgment is entered against you and if the Creditor takes collection actions, they can not usually take your personal belongings,including those necessary to live by ( IE: household Items ).

Actually, that isn't true. The judgment creditor has the right to seize or levy any non-exempt assets that you might have. In Pennsyvlania, you can exempt the following personal property:
"Bibles. Schoolbooks. Sewing machines. Clothing. Tangible personal property at an international exhibit sponsored by U.S. government. Uniform and accoutrements." plus a 'wildcard exemption' of an additional $300 value of any property.

Any personal property beyond those exemptions can be seized.

My response:

So, basically, they can take your dog and cats, and your first born male child.
