    Judgment / small claims
    Hi there.
    I have a judgment against a person and I'm trying to collect, but when I went to Marshalls and they try to collect from employer but her employer state that she is not making enough money so I can't collect any money. I want to know if there is anyway to find where the person has bank account. I have all personal information like SS number, date of birth. I'm from NYC

    Depending on the amount of your judgment, I would check into a private eye and what it would cost to run an asset search.

    Unless at some point in time this person ever wrote you a check, that you deposited into one of your accounts. Then, you may be able to get a copy of this check from the bank where it was deposited.

    I had heard of a guy once, who actually arranged for a friend who had a business, to mail a real check for $20 to the debtor with something saying you were our random weekly winner! They deposited the check into their account and with his friends help, he got the checking account number.

    I am in no way advocating that anyone do anything that could be illegal.

    Yes this is one of the main issues and problems of getting a judgement, a lot of them never get collected. Depending on the amount, and the state you live in, there are collection companies that do it for a percentage,

    Do you believe their place of work is lying ?

    There's no "may be able" to the copy of the check from your bank if it was deposited - as I've posted before, the bank will provide a copy to you. There is, of course, a charge.

    The $20 check is the stuff of urban legend - glad it worked out for your friend.
