Read MoreFailure to Pay a Judgement in Small Claims Court
If you have lost a small claims case, you are required to pay any amount you owe to the winning side. Sometimes people can’t afford to pay or just don’t want to, hoping that the consequences will disappear quickly, but this does not happen. The judgement creditor is often given (by the state) a set amount of time to collect the debt owed to them – for example, California allows ten years. If you fail to pay, interest will accumulate at a rate of 3% to as high as 12% annually. Depending on the state you live in will determine how much you owe and the longer you wait to pay, the more money you will owe. Collection Tools Used Against You If you fail to pay, there are several avenues the judgement creditor can travel to force you to pay your debt. These tools include the following: Bank levy. A bank will be instructed to withdraw funds in your account to go toward the balance you owe until the judgement is paid off. Wage garnishment. Your employer can be required (and forced by law) to deduct money from your check every month until your judgement balance is paid in full.Till tap. Law enforcement may be instructed to enter into your business and empty your cash register to pay toward your debt.Seizure. The judgement creditor can take personal possessions, real estate or other forms of property to sell at an auction to earn money to go toward your judgement. This is less likely for a creditor to do because it takes a lot of time and expense but if you own valuable property that is paid in full, it is a possibility.Keeper. Similar to a till tap, an officer is instructed to take customer funds for a longer duration of time, such as an entire day’s worth of cash earnings. The only way to avoid the above methods being taken against you is to communicate with the judgement collector and work to pay your debt...
Read MoreDischargeable vs Non-Dischargeable Debt in Bankruptcy
If you owe money to a creditor, the creditor might be able to take you to small claims court. If the creditor wins and you owe them money, the court can issue a judgement, allowing the creditor rights to attempt to collect the funds you owe them, such by filing the judgement as a lien against property you own until you either refinance or sell. What about if a person files bankruptcy? Here we will discuss more about judgement liens where bankruptcy is concerned. Many debts are forgiven, or dischargeable, when it comes to bankruptcy cases, while others are not. Non-dischargeable debt is still owed after bankruptcy ends. If your judgement pertains to a non-dischargeable debt, you will not have financial relief from the debt when you file for bankruptcy. Any liens will remain after bankruptcy, meaning you will still owe it until it is paid or it otherwise becomes uncollectible as according to state law. Non-dischargeable debt can include: Student loans (in most circumstances)Recent income taxesChild support or other domestic support obligationsDebt coming from bodily injury or death as a result of your intoxication Other debts may be ordinarily discharged but a creditor can ask that certain debts be mad enon-dischargeable by the court. Examples of these include: You committed a crime to gain money, services or goods (such as lying on an application for credit).You embezzled money.You caused injury to someone else willfully. If a judgement lien is issued against you that is associated with dischargeable debt and you file bankruptcy, your debt will be cleared. This means the creditor cannot take action against you to obtain the...

Read MoreWhat to do if Your Photography Work is Infringed
You work hard to produce the pieces you create. If someone used your work without gaining your permission in a perfect world, you would simply send him a bill for it, he would pay the bill and you would move on. If he didn’t pay, you could just threaten to sue him and he would quickly realize how much he didn’t’ want that to happen so he would settle with you and you would be paid for your work. But this is the real world and some people are not mindful of your rights nor are they moved by threats. So what should you do when your work is infringed? If your published work is infringed and it takes place before your piece has been registered, the owner of the copyright can obtain typical remedies for copyright infringement, including injunctions, impounding and disposition of infringing articles, actual damages and lost profits, and so on. But if registration was not made before the infringement took place or within three months after the first publication of a work, special remedies (such as attorney’s fees) cannot be obtained by the owner. Small claims court may also be an option for you. If your published work is being used by somebody local and without your permission, you may be able to get satisfaction by taking them to small claims court. You won’t be able to sue for copyright infringement (as this must take place in federal court) but you may be able to file a breach of contract claim. The nice thing about small claims court is that you can skip the step of hiring a lawyer, so you don’t even necessarily need to be compensated for attorney’s fees. It may be a good idea however to pursue the advice of an attorney before you get started just to be sure you have everything lined...
