  • Sued by collection agency

    I live in the state of PA and I was sued by a Midland Credit (VS store card) in August of 2021. I have been out of work and the judgement was place against me. I received a letter in the mail I have to go to go a deposition for available assets which I do not own anything. I will be starting a job at the end of August. What happens after the deposition? Can I be sued again? If we agree to a payment plan how would that work? If I miss a payment how does that work? I am finding a lot of conflicting information. Found you can't be jailed for civil debt. Also found they can file a motion for contempt of court for not paying the judgement payment. Any insight would be helpful. Keep in mind the debt is about $1,441 including the judgement and the fees.

      There is a similar procedure in the UK. The purpose is to identify any bank accounts, property or other assets of the judgement debtor against which the judgement creditor can take enforcement action.

      Things may of course be different in your state.
