I have a $12,300 judgment against a company. How can I go about finding out where they bank so I can put a lien on their accounts? I have been told that this is my only choice at recovering my money. I already know of two banks and two checking accounts that they have because checks have bounced from them. Also I want to be able to put this on their credit with the banks knowing that they are writing bad checks.
In most states, a Hearing on Assets can be held. At that hearing, the company's representatives can be questioned under oath about their assets and where the assets are located.
If you already know two banks where the debtor has accounts, you could also pursue funds in those accounts via a garnishment. Contact your court clerk's office to see if they have forms you can use. For $12,300, it would be well worth your time to consult counsel and ensure the garnishment is done correctly. You might try also sending the garnishment to other banks in the vicinity of the company. The judgment itself will be a bad mark on the company's credit if it's not promptly paid, but whether other third-parties learn of it or not will depend on how thorough their research is.
