Hello,
.
If you have a judgment against you in Nevada, then the creditor would have to "domesticate" the judgment in CA before they could pursue collection efforts there. They do this by filing a copy of the judgment with the local court and then the CA courts will enforce the judgement and any collection efforts.
.
In CA the creditor can garnish wages up to 25%, levy on bank accounts and also have the sheriff seize and sell any non-exempt property. Typically one vehicle is exempt assuming that there is little or no equity in it. Things like clothing, household furnishings and furniture, and "tools of a trade" (i.e. business equipment) are also exempt.
.
For a complete list of all the state and federal exemptions, see the Judicial Council list of exemptions (EJ-155). The Judicial Council publishes a list of the current Ca Civ Pro § 704.010 et seq. exemption dollar amounts (as well as the § 703.140(b) exemption dollar amounts, along with the effective date. [Ca Civ Pro § 703.150(d)]
