A: If you know where they bank, you might pay for a garnishment of their account. Outside of that, you might go after personal property you know they have and, as always file the judgment as a lien for 10 years in the County you think they live in. You could also get post judgment asset discovery in Court. But it is doubtful you will ever recover, and you should have known that. Finally hire a collection attorney.
