If they take you to court and get a judgment they can attach bank accounts, garnish wages (if your State allows it) and file liens on any other property you may have like cars, boats, land and homes.

Yes they can take you to court and get a judgment. Then they can put a lien on any of your property.
You really should contact a debt agency to see if they can help negotiate lower rates with your creditors.
And if you're sitting around after a car accident hoping to sue someone in a lawsuit-forget it. What's more important, your home or waiting for some small settlement (after the lawyer gets his 40%) to come your way?

allow me to help, you should settle those debts. you have about 70,000 is credit card debt. There is a government approved program that allow lawyers with a debt releif agency to negotiate that debt down to about 35,000-40,000. Also you wouldn't have to pay any interest which would allow you to be debt free within 2 years. Please take the initiative to let this be the break that you need.

You REALLY need to ask Dave Ramsey. He is now on Fox Business news channel. He has a nationwide toll free(You Need) number. His radio show is from Nashville . He was in a mess like you and is a millionaire now. Ask information for his toll free number from your phone information operator.Call him TODAY.

yes they can take equity, but only if they bankrupt you.
but first of all they will let you miss a few payments so they can drive up their charges.
go and see Citizens Advice, if they talk to your creditors it shows them you are taking things seriously and they are more likely to help out (although with MBNA I wouldnt hold your breath).

cREDITORS CAN SUE YOU, AND TAKE PART OF YOUR WAGES. aND ALSO YOUR WIFES IF SHE IS ON THE ACCOUNT. tHEY PROBABLY PUT AN ATTACHMENT AGAINXT YOUR ASSETS IF THEY GET A JUDGEMENT IN COURT AGAINST YOU. aS FOR AS YOUR HOUSE IS CONCERNED THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO PUT A LEIN AGAINST IT, BUT IT WOULD ONLY BE EFFECTIVE IF YOU SELL YOUR HOUSE. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BABY AND YOUR HORRIBLE FINANCIAL CONDITION
