Judgment Debt and Enforcement Orders

Law Tram’s Debt and Bankruptcy Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Have a Court Judgment Against You? Know Your Rights

If a creditor has obtained a court judgment against you for unpaid debt, they may be able to enforce it using legal tools such as garnishee orders, property seizure, or bank account freezes. Even if the judgment was made without your knowledge, you may still have options to respond.

It’s important to act quickly. Enforcement orders can impact your income, assets and credit history. In some cases, you may be able to set aside the judgment, dispute the enforcement, or negotiate more affordable terms.

Law Tram connects you with lawyers who understand how judgment debt works in Australia and who can help you manage, challenge or resolve enforcement action.
