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

How Bankruptcy Stops Creditors and the Courts

Filing bankruptcy can stop a warrant in debt in Virginia

If you file a case under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 prior to the warrant in debt hearing date, it is possible for the court to cancel the hearing and no longer require you to attend.

Bankruptcy will stop a creditor from attempting to collect money from you if you file after the judgment has been entered. This can block attempts to garnish your paycheck, garnish your bank account, or put a lien against your house.
