    Order of Default?
    I received a post card from the Circuit Court saying they were notifying me of an order of Default against me.

    What does this mean? There is no phone numbers or anything to call on the post card, just the file number and creditor.

    We've ran into some bad financial troubles, and I cannot pay anything in full right now. HELP

    I should also add that I am not currently employed, but my husband is. Can they come after him?

    This means they filed suit against you and you didn't respond or show up for the court date and because of this a default judgement was obtained. Does the post card give a courthouse along with the case number? If so you can call and get specific information. How much is the judgement for? If it is for a large amount I would be careful of keeping money in checking and savings accounts as now that they have a judgement they can take money from your accounts.

    If you are in a community property state, yes they can garnish your husband's wages and his bank accounts for your debts. What state are you in?

    I am sorry you are going through this. I know it is stressful. I have been where you are before and it does get better.
