Also, it's possible to negotiate a reduced deficiency or pay a lump-sum settlement regarding any remaining debt associated with the transaction. Be aware that you might have tax consequences if the lender forgives all or some of the deficiency. You might also consider filing for bankruptcy.
If you refuse to pay, the debt will most likely be sold to collections. But either the lender or the collector can choose to file a lawsuit against you, which could result in a wage garnishment, a levy against your bank account or a lien against your other property.
Even after a deficiency judgment is entered, your lender still may work out an agreeable payment plan with you. You can try to negotiate a payment by calling the lender or the lender's attorney. Almost every lender's attorney will take your call, and at least listen to payment offers that you make.
If your lender sues you to recover the deficiency and wins, the court will issue a judgment ordering you to pay off the deficiency. If you ignore this court order, your lender can use the deficiency judgment to place liens on other property that you own, garnish your wages, or freeze your bank accounts.
A deficiency judgment will remain on your credit report for seven years. If the judgment remains unpaid, however, your creditor may apply with the court to have the judgment renewed for another seven-year period.
Judgments in SC last ten years and do not renew.
