egreir Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 So I won my case by default because the guy never showed up. Court says he owes me x amount of dollars........ Now what? Not like the money is in my hand. "Hey, you owe me $, the court says so." "Piss off." Is this where guns come into play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinblades713 Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Evidently I don't know how it works then. I thought the court pays you, and then they go to collections on him. Because if they could make him pay you in the first place, you wouldn't have to go through a court to get the money you're owed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egreir Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 The court case is to determine whether or not you are actually owed anything. The court said I am owed money. And now it's up to him to pay it. If he doesn't pay...then I guess I have to do a whole other set of proceedings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egreir Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 "If you win, you’re entitled to the money or property the judge decides is due you, plus out-of-pocket expenses such as the fees discussed before. If you win a money judgment, the judge will order the defendant to fill out a financial disclosure form and mail or deliver it to you or the clerk of court. The defendant must list his or her residence, employers and their addresses, financial institutions where he or she has funds on deposit, real estate owned, automobiles, cash on hand, and other assets or sources of income. The completed form must be sent to you or the clerk, or the judgment paid, within 15 days from the date the judgment is entered. If the defendant doesn’t pay, you have several options. You may docket the judgment at the courthouse by paying a $5 fee. The docketed judgment then acts as a lien on the defendant’s real estate. You also may start a garnishment action to obtain a portion of the defendant’s earnings or bank deposits, subject to the earnings and bank deposit exemption statutes. If the defendant fails to file the required financial disclosure form, you can ask the court to hold the defendant in contempt. To preserve your right to enforce the judgment, a party should always docket the judgment in the county in which the judgment was taken and file a transcript of the judgment in any other county in which the losing party has, or may have, real estate. The fee for issuing a transcript by the county of original jurisdiction is $5. The fee for filing a transcript of judgment in another county is $5."

Pali Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 So, you answered your own question - no, this is not where guns come into play. This is where more paperwork comes into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egreir Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Well, that was Wisconsin law...but I'm sure the same basic principles apply. And yes. I posted this as I was researching. Stop trying to take my guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egreir Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Apparently it will take you 3-4 months to get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfrosto Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I could save you the trouble and for a small fee I will happily beat the piss out of the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enethier Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 And for another small fee I will camp out in a lawn chair and watch it happen. I'll even throw in some applause and general trash-talking, the kind to be expected of belligerent, middle-aged men in that biker bar that's been shut down a time or two for some questionable gunfire.
