The plaintiff's bankruptcy trustee now has control of the law suit. You might see if the trustee would be open to settlement. In any event, the trustee has to make a decision of whether to administer the law suit or abandon it.

Can I have my wages garnished if I owe money to a credit card company?

Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Yes, once there is a judgment issued by the Superior Court it can be enforced in many ways including garnishment of wages, levy of a bank account, filing of an abstract of judgment in the County Recorder's Office which become a lien on property you own in the County and you can be ordered to appear in the Superior Court for an examination under oath so that the creditor can find out where you work, how much you make, where you have bank accounts, if you own any property, etc. If you do not appear the Superior Court can issue a bench warrant for your arrest. The judgment will be for the amount owed plus late charges, interest and attorneys' fees for the creditor's attorney. If you answer the complaint for money in the Superior Court issuance of the judgment will be delayed while the case is set for trial but eventually you will probably lose the case if it is true that you owe the money. You might want to discuss the situation with a local bankruptcy attorney to see if that is an option for you.
