| A judgment obtained in one state is usually collectable in another state. In fact, the only defense a debtor would have against collection is if he could prove that the state where the judgment was obtained was not the proper jurisdiction. Check with the clerk of the Court where the debtor is now located to determine the exact procedure for that particular Court. |

| I am trying to collect a judgement for a case won in California, but now the debtor is in Texas. I won a judgment for 5000 and have to pursue collecting it. I need to find if he has any assets or where his bank account is out of. I wanted to do research on this website, but none of the links are working. How can I find his assets and collect my debt from him. |

| RHOL’s eCourse titled ”Collecting Judgments” will provide a fair amount of information regarding finding assets and collecting the judgment.
Often, the first place to start is the ID verification documentation, application form, and credit report from when the tenant rented your property. These items should provide information such as emergency contacts, employers, etc. from which one can often track skips.
Assuming that they signed an adequate permission statement when you originally took their application, you should be able to obtain a current credit report which may have a variety of clues to their current location. |

| My tenants skipped out without paying the final months rent and did a substantial amount of damage to the property. I know they moved to Idaho and besides me, they left a lot of other creditors high and dry. How do I locate them with the information I had from their rental credit report? I assume I have to locate them before I can file the small claims action. Note: I tried to send a demand letter to the rental property address with a ”forwarding Address Requested” listed on the envelope but the tenants did not put in a forwarding address at the post office. |
