Finding your debtor, is the first step to serve them notice of your lawsuit, and later to attempt to collect your judgment against them. Nobody else can satisfy your judgment. When you learn where the judgment debtor, lives, that is usually the first hint toward finding their available assets, that could eventually lead to collecting a judgment. This article is my opinion, and is not legal advice. I am a judgment referral expert, and not an attorney. If your judgment debtor, was served at their residence or work, that is the first place you should look for them. When your judgment is old, the debtor, might not live or work there any more, yet those are good places to start. Some judgment debtors, attempt to evade judgmentowners. Usually, judgment owners can still locate them. Start with what you know, and investigate further. As an example, you may already know of an address which the debtor was. You may be able to find people that most likely know something about your debtor. When you contact your judgment debtor's, current or former neighbors, roommates, family, or co-workers; do not come across in a way that might arouse their suspicions. Especially with your judgment debtor's, family members, try not to make them suspicious, about if they should talk to you, a stranger, about a member of their family. A common way to learn free and informal info from those who know the debtor, is to lie a little. One example lie might be "I'm an old friend of Dan Debtor from... and I want to catch up with him, do you how I can contact him, or where he moved to?" Never tell lies to find a debtor's banking information, but it's usually legal to find out where they live, their email address or telephone number, or where they work. People might blab away about your debtor, and some may even tell you about folks they don't know. Listen carefully, to detect whether there are any negative feelings about your judgment debtor. If they have negative feelings, they tell you better information. Listen attentively, and politely ask probing questions. If you're attempting to discover out where a person (e.g., your debtor) lives now, you are skip tracing them. A skip is the person you are attempting to locate. Don't try to act like a private investigator or bill collector, or even tell them that you have a judgment against your debtor. Often, the best source of information on your debtor, is their ex-spouse or a previous boy or girl friend. Next best is your debtor's, friends or co-workers. Contact one or more of them, and maybe you can find a person willing to spill the beans. One of them may give you some valuable info. At the same court where you received your judgment, there might be other judgments against the judgment debtor. Locating and contacting other judgment owners could be helpful. They may be happy to share information. Sometimes other judgment owners won't want to share their information, because the first judgment creditor to find out where the debtor works or banks, gets to pay a Sheriff to garnish the debtor's, assets. The first to get paid usually is the winner. http://www.JudgmentBuy.com - Judgment Enforcement. The free, easiest, best and fastest chance to collect some judgment money. Mark D.
