QUESTION
I was sued by a credit card company for $6500. A default judgement was made against me. Can they enter my apartment and take my property?

More details to this question:
I own a car that is worth maybe $1000 due to the fact that it is wrecked (though it is still driveable) I do not own a home. I work for myself and will no longer be depositing my money into my checking accounts for fear that they will take it all out at once. Can they take it all out at once, or is there a limit on how much they can take per month? I intend to pay off the debt. My credit score is decent, and I do not want to file bankruptcy. I could probably pay this debt off over the course of a year. What are their limitations in the state of Florida?

Your question is waaaaaayyyyy to broad as you essentially ask what can the judgment creditor do to you which would require analaysis of every means of collection as weighed against all of your assets, etc. One thing I can tell you, though is to remind you that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". If they have a judgment, they can do a great number of things to be a pain in the butt until the ACTUALLY get the judgment satisfied. If you "intend" to pay them, you need to get with them immediately to work out a deal if possible.
