    A question about Civil Lawsuits

    lets say a company is suing you and you get served with a court summons. you fail to respond back to the summons ands the company wins a default judgment in the case. and they are asking for $500,000 when you only have $20,000 in assets. what would happen? could you file bankruptcy to get out of the rest of the $480,000 that you owe?

                It depends on the State. Some States will not let you clear a judgment by declaring bankruptcy. You need to hire an attorney, quickly. You?re an idiot for letting this get this far.

                      They can and most likley will garnish all of your future earnings until the judgement is paid off. Basically you fucked yourself by being to stupid to get a Lawyer and work it out before letting them get a default judgement.

                        He looses the 20k in assets. Company can place liens or garnishments on wages and so forth. Judgement will be entered into record that will remain for many fucking years. After they take what they can and fuck you as they will, they ussually will end up selling off the judgement to collections and there it will remain for 5+ years depending on the state. If they are able to get any money during the collection period the time starts all over.

                        Bankruptcy reform has also changed a great deal, so it is not as easy to erase and forget.

                          if your 'friend' was too fuckin lazy to travel over a half million dollar lawsuit, he is probably too lazy to get any kind of a job or even wipe his own ass. Just tell him to sell what he can on ebay or whatever and get a head start on being homeless.

                            tell you stupid friend that if he had showed up, he could have most likely got that reduced by maybe 75% or maybe even had it thrown out. Not showing up is so fucking dumb I cant even understand how someone can be that stupid. I hope if I ever sue someone, I hope they just dont show up.

                              Nothing much besides get an order to collect any future earnings he has.

                              Your friend is an idiot.
