    Let me clarify, I filed a suit against the car dealer and he did not attend the court summons, so by default I won the case, and when I have contacted the court through phone, they(court staff) said I can collect the default judgement, but when I arrived to collect the default judgement papers, they asked me to collect the proof from the military departments, saying the offender is not in active service.

    Again, that's not the way it works. In NJ, you cannot receive a default judgment unless you can prove the defendant is not a member of the military on active duty. That's where the hole in your story is.

    You do not have any judgment awarded to you at this point, because you haven't done the things required.

    I have proved that the defendant is not the member of the military service and the court has ordered a default judgement against him, now I need to collect the money from him.

    Find out where he works and file for garnishment of wages.
