Q&A: How do you have someones drivers license suspended for non payment of a small claims default judgement in MI?

Question by Ted & Rhonda P:
As you have someone driver for not paying a small claims default judgment suspended license in MI?

I have filed in small claims court, against a corporation for an outstanding, unpaid invoice, for work done. Their attorney filed to have it changed to civil court, then did not show up for any of the court dates. The judge never heard the case, and signed a default judgement against them.

The corporation did end up paying the cost of the invoice without the late fees, penalties, or costs…. which were included in the default judgement. I am still interested in recovering those too. It has now been a month since the default judgement was signed.

When I filed against the corporation, I had to place the President of the corporations name. He was the mortal that represents their corporation.

I know someone, in Michigan, that lost a small claims case, and they had their drivers liscense suspended until the debt was paid.

Can this be done to the officer of a corporation, that’s study was on the lawsuit? And if so, how would I go about doing it?

How long will it take for a default judgement on a divorce to be completed?

I am in Florida, I think my * ex is in Oklahoma. I filed for divorce, the papers were served to him on Might 3rd and he had 30 days to respond. He did not respond, so my lawyer now takes the court papers a default ruling against him file. What will happen next? Do I get what I asked in the papers? How long will it take? Will the court or my attorney will notify me when all is finished? Do I get a sort of documentation showing that I officially divorced? In addition, there are two kids involved, I have custody (he is no contact in 4 months or more had), there is no common ownership (only some debt). And yes, I call my lawyer and spoke to the paralegal, but he did not / could give me no intent how long it would take would have. : (

Can someone with a civil (default) judgement against me in Ohio come after my assets (lein on my home) in Cali

Beth Asked:
Can someone with a civilian (standard) sentence against me in Ohio after my assets (lein on my home page) in Cali

Although we have not been officially served (we never accepted any certified letters) we have a civil (default) judgement against us from Ohio. We now live in CA. Can our assets be taken (i.e. lein on home) for this judgement? We never had the opportunity to defend ourselves. Do we have the right to hire a new attorney (the first one did NOTHING) and appeal the judgement? Do we have to go back to Ohio? Can we place the property in a trust and forget about it? We are self-employed so garnishment is not an issue. Thanks.

The answer is, it depends. Generally yes, via the Full Faith and Credit clause of the constitution. But there are so many exceptions and jurisdictional issues and potential defenses that only a lawyer can tell you for sure.

Question by Nat: What happens if you win a default judgement against a company…?
and the company does not pay? What would happen next?
We’ve filed for a default judgement against a company and will most likely get what we’re asking. But this company has not responded to any lawsuits against it lately. What can we do if they do not pay?

Best answer:

Answer by ?infiniti?
Winning a judgment is just half of your battle. If they don’t pay, you could place liens on any bank accounts or any other assets that the company owns.

Question by Fredia b: default judgement?

Best answer:

Answer by cou
When you get a summons to go to court and you don’t show up at the appointed date/time, you will get a default judgment against you based solely upon the fact that you didn’t show up…So the other side wins by default and you will end up having to pay money…even if you didn’t owe it in the first place.

NEVER ignore a summons to go to court.

Default Judgement??

Question by CL: Default Judgement??
I just got a letter stating that I have a default judgement signed against me from a credit card debt. What happens next?

Best answer:

Answer by echo
If you live in a say that grants remuneration garnishment, then the collector would probably try to get a writ of garnishment.

Looking through your past Q&A’s it looks like you live in Texas? If so, remuneration garnishment is not granted for easy money debt judgments such as credit cards.

They might try to seize your bank accounts, if they haven’t already. If the assets in your bank accounts don’t cover the amount of the judgment, then they might try to place a lien on your home or other assets that are allowable under the Texas homestead exemption laws.
They “cannot” force you to sell any quality to pay the judgment.
They would have to move for you to sell, then move in line to be paid over previous lien holders, such as your mortgage holder.

They might request an quality hearing. If they do then do not miss it. Fail to show for an quality hearing and the judge could place you in contempt of court.

It will probably be entered on your credit reports.

They could do any of the things I mentioned or, if you have nothing for them to seize or lien, they could sit on the judgment until you have something. They could continue to renew the judgment until it’s paid or they might just let the judgment expire.
