Re: collecting on a judgement

You have to start suit in Michigan and ask the Michigan court to recognize and grant "full faith and credit" to the Virginia judgment. Once judgment is entered in Michigan, you can seize property in Michigan, garnish wages, etc. You may have to conduct a creditors exam to find the property or you may have to spend some money to do an asset check. I have found some of these asset check companies are good, other's worthless. Contact me to discuss details. William S. Stern

Re: collecting on a judgement

You would need to hire an attorney in Michigan, ask the Court to give full faith and credit to the court in your state, conduct a creditor exam, and then either seize property, garnish his wages, or if he still fails to show up, ask the court to hold him in contempt and issue a bench warrant with bond set at the amount he owes. If you need help with this, I have experience in collections and can help you with this.
