Wage Garnishment - Are you missing out?

Did you know that a landlord can sue, win, and be denied wage garnishment to enforce a judgment?

You must satisfy at least one of the following
  • Personal service on the tenant by constable or sheriff (posting is no good)
  • Tenant files an answer
  • Tenant shows up in court
If none of this happens, then you will be denied wage garnishment. Wage garnishment is the most effective  and fastest way to get money from most renters.  You do not want to loose this option!

Sosphisticated landlords often bait tenants in to appearing in court. Some landlords have said that they told tenants the following:  .

  • If you don't go, the judge will give me everything I ask for
  • If there is a reason you have for not paying me, you need to file an answer
  • I am going to ask the judge for the maximum amount
  • Did you know the only guaranteed way for me to win, is if you default
These methods may be especially useful when personal service can not perfected.
