Does a credit card have to be charged off when a judgment is granted?

[Edit]

Answer

An account is charged off before a judgment. The judgment creditor can execute the judgment against non-exempt property belonging to the debtor as a means to recover monies owed. The preferred method is wage garnishment followed by bank account levy or a lien against real property. It is also possible for the creditor to seize and sell other personal property belonging to the debtor, but creditors are generally reluctant to take such action.
