I won a judgement from an individual (whom won't pay). How do I start the process of garnishing his wages?

Go back to the court and ask them to issue an order of garnishment. You will need the debtor's employer and full address. You may also need their SSN. The court will then issue the order that you have served on the employer.

Hello shem:

After you get the order, and if you know where he works and possibly banks, there probably are constables or sheriff deputy's available right there at the courthouse who will do the serving for you.

His employer will likely be a bit more intimidated by a big guy in uniform with a gun, than he will by you.

The answers given to you are correct. But, you can also use your local constable to seize any other assets he owns... car (if not leased), bank account funds, boat, aircraft, wages, etc.

First I would suggest you do a thorough search to see what assets he has... then get the order for garnishments. But, do some leg work.

It sounds horrible... but identity thieves do it because it works... steal the garbage... if he doesn't shred you can find out where he works and where he banks.

That's not quite accurate. Many things are exempt from seizure for unsecured debt. You need to check the rules in your area.

What if he lives in another state?

You generally have a choice. Sue him in your state or in his state. If you sue him in your state, you register the judgment with the court where he is. In either case, then you attempt to collect where he has assets.


... If the offense took place in HIS town, or on the internet, then it's harder still.

Offense? We don't know that he committed a crime. He owes money to OP.
