I NEED SERIOUS ADVISE AND HELP ! No jokes please?

-I owe someone's insurance company $9.000 medical bill. If I don't pay that bill they will of course sue me but can the judge order to deduct that $9000 from my bank account without my permission? If I refuse to do it will I go to jail or will my driver's license get suspended?You won't go to jail...but if it's owed as the result of a motor vehicle accident then your drivers license could be suspended.



Call the insurance company up and work out a payment plan with them. Most companies will work out an interest free payment plan. Usually they want at least $100 per month. As long as you make your payments on time every month- they don't take further action against you.The judge can order that control of your bank account be taken away from you without your permission. I am not sure if they actually deduct the money from the account or if they just "freeze" it, so that the money is still in the account, but you cannot get to it.



Although you will not go to jail for not paying, you may go to jail for having driven without having the required type of insurance. You license may get suspended for driving without having the required type of insurance.
Yes, the judge can deduct that from your bank account, without permission. Once you legally owe the debt, they can try to collect it any way they can - including putting a lien on your house or car, attaching your wages, sweeping your bank account, attaching your income tax returns.



You probably won't get thrown in jail. But you can count on your license being suspended, until this is cleared up.
The good news is that (if you are in the US) you will not go to jail.



The bad news is that a judge CAN order you to pay the money and the company can garnish your bank accounts and your pay check - all without your permission. The other piece of bad news is that if the judge rules in your favor, that judgment cannot be discharged through bankruptcy.



My advice to you is to contact the company and try to work out some kind of payment arrangement before going to court. It will save a lot in legal fees as well as a lot of embarrassment when you have no money in your account or your employer is contacted to garnish your wages.



Hope that answered your question. Sorry I didn't have better news for you...and good luck in the future.
They may be able to deduct it from a bank account, but they probably won't go that route. They would more likely garnish your wages, which is what they would probably do.



As for your driver's license, it depends on the state; but probably not.
