The title pretty much sums up my question but ill elaborate...
A court found me and my brother guilty of owing back rent. Long story short we had a verbal agreement with the plaintiffs nephew to pay X amount of money a month in rent and we always paid. In essence we we're subleasing. The nephew however spent the money on drugs and didn't pay his uncle. The uncle of course believes his nephew over me and my brother, sues us, has a lawyer, we can't afford one, is friends with the judge to boot, and even though we never signed a lease with the plaintiff or the nephew railroads us and finds us liable for $2000 in back rent. Of course we can't afford this,.
Now recently my brothers bank account was seized, luckily he never used it and there was only $15 in it. I'm afraid my bank account is next so I withdrew all my money and I'm wondering if a company like ING or Paypal can also be seized? I don't know what ING qualifies as exactly but I know Paypal isn't actually a financial institution. Also now that I think about how about a credit card, can the limit on them be seized to pay a debt?
