Credit reports usually pick up judgments. You can obtain an abstract of judgment from the court for a small fee and record it with the LA county recorder, as well. That creates a lien on the judgment debtor's real property in LA County, if any. You can record in other counties where you suspect he/she has property, too.

Forget the credit report. Get your money. Read the book, Collect Your Judgment, or get a lawyer to help.
