Faqs
If I owe to a city or county, what type of debt do I owe?
Cities and counties typically have multiple debt types which may include parking tickets, moving violations, local personal and business taxes, emergency medical services, utilities, fines and fees. This list is an example only as there are typically many types of charges, fines and fees.
The city or county, depending upon the debt type, may withhold or limit services provided to residents. Also, various states may have laws providing guidance for cities in collecting outstanding debts. Our goal is to assist you in understanding what you owe and help in facilitating repayment. Thank you.
If I owe to a state, what type of debt do I owe?
States typically have two debt categories, tax and non-tax. Tax debt is usually personal and business income and other taxes. Non-tax debt owed to a state can be made up of a wide variety of debts owed to state entities, departments as well as municipalities.
For clarification, as to the debt type or the reason we suggest you contact us for additional information. Our goal is to assist you in understanding what you owe and help in facilitating repayment.
For state tax debt, what can the state do to recover this outstanding amount?
Each state has policies for recovering delinquent tax debt some of which are specific to that state. Generally, states consider a variety of methods which may include but are not limited to wage garnishment, attachment of assets like bank accounts or real property.
For more information, we suggest you view state official websites to determine consequences for nonpayment.
