I have a MacBook Pro, 2.33 GHz Cure 2 Duo, running OS 10.6.2. I have in my hands a factory-sealed copy of the Mac version of Fallout 2. I'd like to play it.
A judgment creditor has options for collecting the debt that other creditors don't have. These include wage garnishment orders and even seizing your property. However, once you file for either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, creditors named in the petition must stop all collection efforts. Once a judge signs the discharge order, the process is complete and you no longer have any legal responsibility to any discharged debt, including a covered civil judgment.
First, Register the judgment with the Internet Civil Judgment Registry for $19.95 so others can find it for free. Second, Order a $200.00 basic asset report to see if it is practical to pursue immediate collection. If there are assets, proceed to the next legal step. This step is usually a court-ordered requirement for the Defendant to detail all assets, income and debts. Depending on the state, it may be called a Debtor's Exam or Interrogatories.
