The news reports are that people are going to jail for unpaid pay-day loans debt when it is actually for not following the orders of a judge. The story unfolds with multiple stories of people going to jail for unpaid debt. The focus naturally is targeted at the pay-day loan industry. When debt is defaulted on, the creditor has the right to chase court action in the attempt to get paid.
A creditor will inform a debtor that legal action will be pursued. A creditor has the full right to attempt to gain a civil judgment to regain funds. The debtor will receive a time and date to appear before the judge. This is the piece that many ignore or forget, this request to appear isn't manufactured by the creditor but by the judge.
When you skip over this appointment, the judge will immediately rule in the creditor's favour. The defendant will be charged to repay all debt and court costs and service costs. Once this fine has been imposed, the creditor can call the debtor to an "examination" in civil court. They will be asked about bank accounts and any other assets that the creditor may seize for payment. If the debtor does not show up, the creditor can then make a request that the court ask for a "body attachment". This is when there is an order of arrest is placed upon the debtor. It is named modern day debtors jail. Those people who have little experience of the way the court systems work will find them trapped in legal paths to squeeze money from them. Pay-day loan creditors may follow all legal recourse to obtain payment in full.Illegal debt collections are banned by any creditor. There are some states which don't allow "debtor's prison", but the St. Louis area on each side of the Mississippi Stream, this practice occurs often. According to Missouri Bill of Rights, their constitution states that nobody can be imprisoned for debt except if the fines and penalties are issued by law.
There are times that the court system doesn't let the issue end with debtor's jail. Sometimes the courts summons the debtor to court continually as the creditor is hoping that one of the dates will be missed. Frequently a judge will set the release bond for the sum due to the creditor then turn the cash over to pay for the debt. The courts and police end up being debt collectors for the banks. Tax money is being spent and the banks are labeled rapacious even though they're following the law.
When the state executive sets rules and rules in place , as well as have their constitution condone practices, it would rely on which side of the line you are standing on to state an opinion. Here are the 2 opposing opinions:
*These rapacious banks are using the law to collect money from folk in a financial mess. It is a legal way to threaten jail time in order to collect cash. The Fair Debt Collections and Practices Act protect folk from such threats and this technique is just manipulation of the courts.
*Those who don't sympathize with the debtors have two rebuttals. One being that if you don't have the money to pay back the loan, then there is not any reason to obtain a loan. The second being, if a judge orders you to go to court, you need to turn up. The debtor's jail is only applied to people who don't show up.
The arrest often gets the debt paid. The bonds, which are set by the judge, get used to pay back the costs. The amount of debtors who essentially go to jail is a little p.c. of those people that get have civil judgments against them. For people that end up in the slammer, it is a gloomy story, but preventable.
