I am not an attorney, I am a judgment referral expert. This article is my opinion, and is not legal advice, based on my experiences in California. If you ever want a strategy to use or legal advice, you should contact an attorney. A "dirty tactic" used by some judgment recovery specialists is Diving In Dumpsters. Diving In Dumpsters is taking and inspecting a debtor's garbage. It is messy, slightly risky, and certainly is not the favorite, or a first method to find clues about where debtors travel to, and the judgment debtor's assets. Most often, diving in dumpsters is reserved for clever judgment debtors who are wealthy, but seem to have no assets. Even with typical debtors, when a recovery specialist has the nose for it, dumpster dives can be one of the most effective and cost efficient method of finding information about a debtor's assets. Besides nauseating garbage, what might you find in a judgment debtor's garbage can? Judgment recovery specialists have found address verifications, bank statements, paycheck stubs, and information about relatives, businesses, properties, and investments; in trash cans. The busier and wealthier a debtor is, the more important information they often place in their garbage. Dumpster diving is rarely used for poor debtors, because they usually will have only trash in their trash. The amount of a judgment is not going to show you anything about your judgment debtor. Where the debtor lives and what kind of car they drive will at least tell you what their cash flow looks like. The judgment debtor's cash flow won't tell you if the judgment debtor owns something, only that they have a cash flow. When they handle cash, one may be able to have some of it garnished. Diving in dumpsters isn't for everyone. Even if you're ready to do it, some will approve. Your original judgment creditor and your judgment recovery buddies might applaud, but your spouse and family might hint you should find another line of work. Along with the smell, mess, and hassles of dumpster diving, there are other risks and drawbacks. First, there are the hassles. Trash stinks, and driving with, and handling garbage in bags, isn't on anyone's top 10 list. One should count on leaking bags, so placing them on top of drop cloths, plastic bag liners, or old rags, is a good idea. There are also some risks. There might be nasty and dangerous items, as an example poison substances or exposed drug needles. You might get stopped by the police for acting suspicious. You might be confronted by a hostile person or dog. I heard that there is a US Supreme Court decision that states after trash is on the street in the receptacles, it is no longer private property. However, some communities have laws against taking or inspecting garbage, so check with the local authorities. Thinking about what you are tossing into the garbage, makes you want to buy a shredder. http://www.JudgmentBuy.com - Judgment Enforcement. Referring Judgments Nationwide.
