Writ of Summons

[CMarch4]

On thursday I received a Writ of Summons regarding some money that I owe to a Creditor. They are asking the court of put a Lien on my house for the amount I owe them. If I go to court, what could happen? What judgement besides the lien could there be? I don't have the money to pay them. My husband and I are trying to get on our feet and just managed to work something out with the mortgage company for the house. I am not sure what to do??? And what happens if they do put a lien on the house?

Thank you
Christina

Whether you go to court or not, they can get a judgment against you.

It could be a lien on your house.

They could also get your checking account.

They could latch on to your paycheck.

Should I try calling the lawyer and working something out?

Money talks.

Get a pile of money and start talking.

They don't want promises ... they want money.

Well if I had the money then I would have paid them in the first place. That is the problem.

You promised to pay them the first time.

Now what do you have to offer them?

More promises?
