Judgment Enforcement – The Step-by-Step Course

Or, if you’re the only judgment lienholder, why not actually buy the judgment

with a lien, and then offer the homeowner an opportunity to “get out,” clean up their
credit report, and get a little cash in hand. You own the judgment now, so the JD can
sell the home if they want to, and you get paid. Offer a discount if they do it. They get
more money from their home sale, and you make some good money too. Win—Win.

Important: Same as before, there are obvious risks. We have to know the area, the
market in the area, the mood of the country, and the real estate trendings. We have to really
know what we’re doing. But keep an eye out. Big country. Lots of opportunities.

Step 3. Consider Becoming and RPS

This is a registered process server. He or she is a civilian person who serves legal
papers, and then fills out a “Proof of Service” verifying to the court that he or she has
served them.
The process server may serve “Plaintiff’s Claims” for small
claims cases, or Judgment Debtor Examination papers, or subpoenas,

or one of a thousand types of legal papers. Sometimes the papers
have to be served personally, and sometimes they can be “sub-

competent adult member of the business or JUST GOOGLE
household. THE RPS LAWS
Registered process servers get paid about
$50-$150 per serve. I was a registered process FOR YOUR

server, and I charged between $60 and $250, depending on the STATE
difficulty of the serve. I don’t start my car for less than $60, and my
prices go up if I have to travel more than 15 miles, or if it is a “rush
serve.” And if I have to do a stakeout, I will, and then charge the plaintiff or attorney who
has hired me. My longest stakeout was about 16 hours. It’s not as glamorous as in the
movies, believe me. And the client paid for it. (Take a bottle)

A registered process server (RPS) is usually registered or licensed with

the county where he or she resides. State laws differ on what it takes to be
an RPS, but basically you just fill out a form with the county, get
fingerprinted with the sheriff, and maybe have to pay about $100 for a
