Okay, but how does that help you collect on a judgment?
I have one judgment from 2013 but I never tried to collect on it, partly because I am afraid of retaliation and I don't need any more trouble in my life.
Like I said, it is a long drawn out needlessly over complicated process.
At least in the county I went through it.
I had to start out trying to garnish their wages.
To do this I had to find out where they lived and worked in order to fill out the paperwork to get it started.
They have since then changed it so that all that is needed now is their work address.
Of course, as soon as the court started garnishing their wages, they quit and got another job.
So I had to find out their new employer and refile with that information.
They quit again.
After the third time they quit once garnishment started I had to file for thing (I can not remember what it is called right off the top of my head) that was basically accusing them of being in contempt of court.
A court date was set, they were served (the paperwork came back from the sheriff) but they did not appear.
This happened two or three more times.
When I was in to file it again the clerk asked if I would rather do a body attachment....
It took a few weeks, but I finally got a letter informing me about the court date.
I showed up and they were found guilty of contempt of court amongst other things and ordered to pay and that this time around the court would be taking over the case until it was paid.
After not receiving a payment for a while I inquired about it and the court went after them.
I do not know the details other than the payments started back up and then a lump sum paying off the balance and then some showed up.
So I ended up sending them a check for what they ended up over paying.
