Post Judgment - Collections

[adj4rent]

I won a court case failer to pay and want to collect.
I went to rent court and civil court. So now I have to wait 30 days before I can do anything, but I want to put a lien on her car. I don't know where she works to garnish her wages. So how do I find out where she lives now?
She has since moved and I have no clue where she works, is their a way to find this info out? Per my other post I do not have an SSN.
I want to get everything I can. I've been renting properties for 4 years now, usually most of them the renters do not have have a pot to XXXXXX - reason they are renting so I don't worry about collecting.
In this case the way things were handled when they left rubbed me the wrong way and no matter the time it takes me I'm going to get every nickle back. "I hope".

Thoughts or comments?

I'm confused. I don't think I've ever heard of a successful judgement for eviction that there was no SSN, etc.

Am I assuming correctly that you took your case to court without an attorney?

I strongly suggest that you go back to the court house and retrieve the necessary information. Plus, you need to speak with the court house employee on how/when you need to do to get the monies owed to you.

Better yet, if I were in your shoes, I'd definitely contact an experienced attorney.

Had a full contract and she didn't show up to court.

Correct I did it alone. I always learn something as well everytime I go to court. Judge told me I could of sued for the remaining of the contract 4 months was left on the contract at $800 bucks a month.
So I got my writ of execution in the mail yesterday.
I have to get a CV-34 form at the court house, but the info in the court book is very vague. I can send questions to the court house one time to see where she works, where she lives etc. Again this is a ONE time thing you can do by court order she has to answer and return and answers.

To garnish wages I need a DC/CV-60 form. Takes 30 days to process there after.
But I'm thinking get a lawer and let him take his cut. 80% of something is better than 100% of nothing.

It might be worth using a lawyer because they have a ready list of questions to ask to give them the best chance of collecting the judgment. You basically want her to cough up everything detail about her life. Of course, part of that is to get a copy of her drivers license and social security cards. That way, you can do as many skip traces as needed to hound her until the judgment is paid.
