Judgment Enforcement – The Step-by-Step Course



                       +Boats, Planes, etc.  Lots of people have boats, and I’ve had debtors with planes.
                    Your databases will show you what and possibly even where they are.  A good sign.

                       +Fraudulent Transfers: I absolutely love it when someone has transferred real
                    property to a spouse, or a mom in Tennessee, maybe to Aunt Sara in Ireland, or to an LLC
                    or other business. It means they are scared and hiding. It means they know they have a
                    good asset, and they are trying to protect it. And I can locate the transfer on my databases,

                    and I know how to get the property. A bit too much to say to put it               here
                    in the Course, but I cover that on the Forum, in detail – how to ID a
                    fraudulent transfer and what to do to fix it.

                       Also, with the transfer, they lose any leverage with the
                    bankruptcy court or civil court. There are ways to undo the transfers, either voluntarily by
                    the JD or involuntarily by me. Neat stuff.

                        +A right size judgment:  Remember, a right size judgment is one that is within the
                     JD’s power of paying, and he won’t file bankruptcy. It could $5K or $500K, depending
                     on the assets. It always depends on the assets. Accomplished JE’s can make a lot of good
                    money on the right $5K-$15K judgments.

                       +Easily identifiable workplace: Often the JC knows where the JD works, but doesn’t
                    want the paperwork hassle. Yes, it’s fairly common. Sometimes the JD is a former renter
                    who left the place a mess, and the JC has the credit report he pulled on the JD. That’s good
                    too. Call the place you think is where he works. Ask for the JD. Tell the person who

                    answers that you’re returning his call. (In a way you are.)  See if he’s still there. If so, take
                    the judgment and do a wage garnishment.

                       +A recent bankruptcy:  Believe it or not, a fairly recent bankruptcy may be a good
                    sign for three reasons.  1) If the debtor’s debts have been discharged, then he or she likely
                    owes no one.  2) there is a lot of information in his bankruptcy petition about the assets
                    he’s protected in bankruptcy. It may also have his bank name and address, auto
                    information and more. A JE’s goldmine. And 3) he can’t file bankruptcy again for 6 years
                    after the last attempt. That makes it difficult for him to stall you or otherwise evade you.

                       Note:  Be sure that the judgment and the reason for the judgment (breach of contract,
                    auto accident, etc.) came AFTER the JD filed his bankruptcy petition. If it happened before
                    the bankruptcy, then it’s probably automatically discharged in most courts, regardless of

                    whether it was listed in his petition.
                       + Stable residency:  A JD who is not skipping around in his residence, is more stable
                    than one who is.  Job?  Probably.  Family?  Likely.  Another consideration.
