Getting your Judgement from a BankIf you can find out where the defendant does their banking, you may be able to get your judgement directly from their bank account. If you have ever given the debtor a check, the debtor may have deposited the check in one of their bank accounts. The bank endorsement on the check will give you this information.Or if you have ever taken a check from the defendant, it will tell you where they bank. Or you can use an asset search to get bank account information for the defendant. If you know where the defendant banks, be sure that you have the name of the bank, the full address, and the county. The small claims clerk can issue a Writ of Execution. An enforcement officer will then take this to the bank and demand your judgement from their account. The bank will pay what is owed if there is sufficient money in the account. The cost of the writ of execution, as well as what the sheriff or marshall charges for delivery of the writ, can be added to the amount that the defendant owes you. You are also entitled to interest. |
