Summary Judgment in Ohio
by: Debtcollectionanswers.com

A court issues a summary judgment in a lawsuit when one of the parties to the lawsuit -- the credit card company in your case -- is able to prove to a judge that there are no issues to be resolved by going to trial. In other words, the facts of the case are so clear and obvious that a trial is not needed.

Now that the credit card company has a summary judgment against you, it is legally entitled to collect on the amount of the judgment and as it has warned you, it will ask the court to garnish your wages if you do not pay the judgment. Given your situation, you have a couple options if you agree that you do in fact owe the $7,000. You can contact the credit card company to see if it will agree to let you settle the debt for less than what you owe; you can try to work out a payment plan to pay the amount of the judgment over time; or you may want to file for bankruptcy. If you file for bankruptcy, the credit card company will not be able to enforce its judgment while you are in bankruptcy and you will buy yourself time to figure out what to do about your debts.
