  2. Winning a judgment in small claims court is a significant achievement, but it’s just the beginning of the process. To actually collect the money awarded, you’ll need to navigate the post-judgment phase. Here’s a detailed guide to help you through it: A. Obtain a Certified Copy of the Judgment After the judgment is in your favor, the first step is to obtain a certified copy from the court. This official document proves that you have a legal right to collect the awarded amount. B. Understand Your Options Small claims judgments offer several options for collection. You can pursue wage garnishment, bank levies, or place a lien on the debtor’s property. It’s crucial to assess which option is most likely to result in successful collection. 2

  3. D. Research Debtor’s Assets To determine the most effective collection strategy, conduct thorough research on the debtor’s assets. This includes bank accounts, real estate, vehicles, and other valuable possessions. Identifying these assets will guide your next steps. E. Consider Wage Garnishment If the debtor fails to respond to the demand letter or is unable to pay the full amount upfront, wage garnishment is an option. This involves obtaining a court order to have a portion of the debtor’s wages withheld and sent directly to you. Visit judgmentcollection.org to learn more about debt collection. 3
