    Depending upon how much you still have to collect, you may want to hire a skip tracer to locate the individual for you.

    There are some pay sites, that will do a name, address, phone search for a fee, but I'm not aware of anything you could search for an employer.

    A private eye, or skip tracer has access to information you or I don't.

    Evidently, you know the last address; send a letter, "service address requested", through the US Mail; if he left a forwarding address, the PO will send it to you.

    No regular Joe can obtain ANY forwarding address information from the US Post Office.

    Some gal, had a restraining order against her abusive BF/Hubby. He mailed a letter to her old address, he got the new one back, with the "used to be" yellow address correction sticker.

    He then went to her new address, and killed her.

    That caused the Post Office to STOP any and all forwarding information to the general public.

    You also used to be able to go to the Post Office, and pay a $1.00 fee for what they called an address search. If the person you were looking for, had an address within the zip code for that Office, they would "sell" you the new address for the $1 search fee. That is also no longer an option.

    Yes. It always gets easier for the dishonest to get away with their deeds, and harder for the honest individual to do anything about it.

    Welcome to the problems of debt collection, winning the judgement is the easy part. Collecting your money is the other. What most people don't realise is a lot of judgements are never collected for various reasons.
    So what you have now is how much are you willing to spend, PI to follow him, use a collectoin agency that will get a large percent of the money to collect it.
