Sheriffs levy for credit card debt, call their bluff??

[IamOld]

Hmm...forgive me guys for being overly melodramatic, and I say this WITHOUT apologies - this is financial fascism. Is this what this country has come to???

lenders are really putting the squeeze on debtors, my stuff isn't worth the effort, but I don't need the headache, I offered them 2000, which is more than they will net if they hire a mover, as my sheriff said their not coming back, unlike some states, the Sheriffs job is over after they take inventory. So its now the banks problem.

So the bank has to hire movers, take my stuff and put it in storage, insure it and try to sell it, unless someone bids at the sheriff sale, I owe 9000, so someone would have to be crazy to bid.

Yes it is. Now since you stated "after the sale" then that is different. It would not be your home then. A bit different and you taught me something. 'Hub

Well it is still my home, they can break in to get my furniture apparently.

This is middle ages law everyone, pure and simple.

True I was in banking for several years, I was actually an honest banker, its an amazing distortion of due process and equal protections under the law, banks can rape and pillage without consequence be bailed out by tax payer dollars, but have a down on his luck taxpayer, neglect to pay his credit card and they'll take his bed and home furnishings.

300 dollar exemption in PA, it must be the middle ages.

Collect agents are having a field day as no one is really supportive of creditor rights, our AG's office basically told us if there are an overwhelming amount of complaints against a single agency they'll investigate but they cant investigate every complaint. The FTC was equally worthless, once the judgement was granted their not going to do anything, my error was not requesting a trial, defending through the mail, made it to easy for the judge to look the other way.

I actually requested a validation of debt, the court ignored my request - judgement granted. Rocket dockets are coast to coast, judges don't know what to do with all the cases so more often than not they just shovel it through.

$300 in PA: People spend more than that on X-mas or an NFL game. Let's see, you could have one sleeping bag, some old dishes, a 16 inch black and white tv, couple of blankets, an very old sofa and one chair, tv trays, and maybe a few other things, 300 bucks, you got to be joking.

[DYLAN150]

In my state (WA) it's like $2750 plus $2000 wildcard.

Its the dark ages, this country had become a banana republic. What ever happened to equal protections under the law??? Banks screw the economy out of billions, I can't pay my Credit card so they take my bed and toothbrush.
