Pago en cuotas de un juicio por deudas relacionadas con vehículos

Explicación Simple

Si debes dinero por un juicio, puedes pedirle al juez que te deje pagarlo en partes. Así, en lugar de pagar todo de una vez, pagas una pequeña cantidad cada mes.

Es como cuando compras un teléfono a plazos. En lugar de pagar todo el dinero de golpe, pagas una parte cada mes hasta que esté completamente pagado.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan recibió un juicio de $1,200 por un accidente de auto. Él no puede pagar toda la cantidad de una vez, así que pide al juez que le permita pagar $100 cada mes. Mientras cumpla con esos pagos, su licencia de conducir no se suspenderá.

Penalidades

Si no cumples con los pagos acordados, tu licencia puede ser suspendida.

MCL 257.515 - Installment payment of judgment; default Sec. 515. (a) A judgment debtor upon due notice to the judgment creditor may apply to the court in which such judgment was rendered for the privilege of paying such judgment in installments and the court, in its discretion and without prejudice to any other legal remedies which the judgment creditor may have, may so order and fix the amounts and times of payment of the installments. A true copy of the order shall be filed with the secretary of state. In lieu of a court order for installment payments, the judgment debtor and judgment creditor may make an agreement in writing, a copy of which shall be filed with the secretary of state, for the payment of the judgment in installments. (b) The secretary of state shall not suspend a license, registration, or nonresident's operating privilege, and shall restore any license, registration, or nonresident's operating privilege suspended following non-payment of a judgment, when the judgment debtor gives proof of financial responsibility and obtains an order, or written agreement, permitting the payment of the judgment in installments, and while the payment of any installment is not in default. (c) If the judgment debtor fails to pay any installments as specified by the order, or written agreement, then upon notice of the default, the secretary of state shall forthwith suspend the license, registration, or nonresident's operating privilege of the judgment debtor until the judgment is satisfied, as provided in this chapter.
