RE: Won judgement; how do I get the money?
Hi Tammy, I also won a judgement for a little less $1,740. But I have decided not to continue because I don't live in the same city as rented property and each visit to the Courthouse cost money. We have accepted this as a loss and my tax person say's I can write it off next year. #2 reason is it's a negative measure. When tenant presented statements, they showed they had no monies. Personally, as an Owner one has to make a decision whether to accept the loss or pursue to recover and what's the best course of action in each case. If I'd had been living in the same city, perhaps I would have pursued it.. It was detrimental to my health to pursue the issue...Good Luck

If you are unable to collect a judgement yourself you may consider using a judgement recovery service. Typically they will collect or try to collect the judgement, without direct cost to you. IF they recover all or part of the judgement they will keep a portion of the money for there services, often up to 50%. But that's more than $0.00 if you can't collect.

A judgement shows up on one's credit report. In most cases, it's very difficult to obtain new credit with a judgment on your credit report.

Write the loss off on your taxes. Don't expect to see any money. If the tenant was a looser before court, don't expect a change after court.
Good tenants don't go to court.

We also won our case, He was a conficted felon. So may be in jail by now. Could not find them after court case. So we have not collected
either. Really do not expect to either. Good luck to you though. Hope
you get your money. But I would claim it on taxes and write it off also.

Makes me angry that scum bags get away with this stuff, never pay, then go elsewhere and start the process all over again, and just keep getting away with it. Sure they're credit gets destroyed but they just live off the system anyway so they don't care. Sad the courts can not deal with this better than it does.
