Re: Collect settlement

If you have an old rent check, you can find out on the back where the landlord banks. Then you can bring the judgment and $$ to the sheriff and instruct the sheriff to levy against the landlord's bank account. The sheriff will collect its fees from the account, too.

Re: Collect settlement

I thoroughly agree with the two previous answers. Find where he works and get a wage attachment.

If he owns a vehicle or property, get a lien.

If you know where he banks, a bank lien.
