Preparing for Your Warrant in Debt Virgina Case
Under Virginia law, a creditor can file a warrant in debt to take you to court to collect money that is owed.
At the warrant in debt hearing, the creditor will claim that you owe the creditor a specified amount of money. If the court determines that you do owe money to the creditor, the court will enter a judgment against you.
This judgment will specify the amount that you owe to the creditor and the rate of interest that will continue to be added to the amount owed until it is paid in full.
Once the court enters a judgment against you, the creditor can then take other actions to collect the debt from you, including:
- Garnishing your wages
- Garnishing your bank account
- Getting a lien against your home
