florida state bankruptcy laws
I received a court summons on August 3rd. in miami florida.?
I am from Miami florida, and I know that the laws are different in every state. I am currently out of the country living in canada and this issue is regarding an old credit card with Capitol one of about 2200.00. Does anyone know what could happen if I dont attend to this summon and I get a judgment. what would happen? Can my bank account be frozen or wages be garnished in Canada? My girlfriend whom I have been livng with for over a year is a Canadian resident and citizen, is there a chance that they can put a lein on her assets in Canada? If I receive a judgement, can I still file for bankruptcy if I return to the US?
You need to take care of this. You cannot let it slide. Best thing to do is to call the District Attorney’s office in Broward County, Florida. Ask for the public defender. Tell him or her your situation and that you would like to make payments and offer a monthly amount, perhaps $50. If you do nothing, you will be found guilty by default and you will have to pay the $2200 plus a fine plus court costs. If you can settle out of court you will have no further problems unless you miss a payment. These situations are frequently solved by negotiations. Try it. Good Luck! Hope this helps.
