You might hire an attorney to examine your assets and possibly file a Notice of Exempt Property. Or a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy might work better. And yes, if there is a judgment against you, most sources of income can be garnished.

Depends on what the Hearing was about. If a debt cause of action, then a default will go down. But if it was discovery, contempt of Court is likely.

It is probably an Agreed Judgment. I recommend you still go to Court to get the agreed money Judgment entered. Sometimes bad things happen, and it is difficult to rectify them. That creditor's attorney might forget about your agreement and enter the full ad damnum, plus attorney fees... View More

A business texted, harassed, and threatened customer regarding money owed. They then filed a lawsuit. How do you address the improper collection actions with the court?
answered on Sep 26, 2023
You can bring a cross complaint. But, first, make certain what they did was illegal, and that the are the type of creditor that is precluded from those actions.
Consider consulting with experienced debt collect defense/FDCPA attorneys in the state where this occurred.
