I have a certified copy of a Final Judgment and I want to file an attachment/garnishment on the defendants 'fictitious business' account. The problem is the defendant never registured the 'fictitious' name and the sheriff needs the fictitious business name statement to serve the Writ on the account. What can I do?

Unless you can get a judgement against the individual owner of the business, there is not much that you can do. All you need really is to prove that it is a sole proprietorship, and that the business and the owner are one in the same.

You are - again - absolutely incorrect.

The OP needs to go BACK to Court and require full financial disclosure from the Defendant.

Who is the judgment against? Is it against the business or the individual?

It is not easy to open a bank account under a "business name" without some proof of the business, proof of a business license, incorporation or something,
Have you searched for a business license, but you may have to take them back to court to provide documents about his bank accounts.
