Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
You will not be arrested for not repaying a loan; it is not a criminal matter. You can be sued in a civil case, a judgment can be entered against you which will likely include interest and possibly other costs, and the judgment creditor can then avail himself of legal methods of collection, such as garnishing wages and/or attaching any assets and selling them to pay off the judgment.
