How do you collect your money and is there a time limit on collecting this money
answered on Feb 8, 2023
You can hire someone to perform a background check and skip trace for assets if you have a judgment. In Tennessee a judgement is good for ten years and can be renewed by motion. If you discover assets, you can garnish wages, levy accounts, and personal property.
