Q: I lent someone 4k. he paid back all but 1800. ive got it on file with the county but he moved to NY after.
we had a written agreement of repayment. I filed it with the magistrates court locally and won the settlement. he was ordered to pay the money. i attempted to have the sheriffs office so a search and seizure but the debtor has moved to new york. Is there anything i can do now or am i just out the money?
A: You can file that Judgment in the location where he has moved but you will need to contact an attorney in that area to assist you in the process of filing the judgment and collecting the money.
