| Post subject: | Ga - Cobb County I have a judgment, how do I collect it |
HI I recently evicted a tenant and have a judgment. The former tenant has not returned my calls, so I would like to move forward with a garnishment. I have done some research and found you can garnish an account or wages. I called the tenants employer to verify she still works there as I didn't want to waist time and money if she didn't and found that she no longer works there. My question is I have her checking account number, How do I go about garnishing it? and how long will it take? Do I need a mailing address for her or can I put the property address that she rented at? Also I called the merchant line to verify funds and found she has less than $500 in the account and she owes almost $2000. I know that I file at the magistrate court in Cobb Co but would like to know the process and what to expect? and if it is something I can do myself or should I hire an attorney? Thanks in advance for your help. |

Judgments are very hard to enforce. How much is the judgment for? Do I understand that you do not know where she works now? |

The Judgment is for almost $2000. Since she has changed employment, would it be wise to garnish her checking account? Can you tell me know garnishing an account works? If there is not sufficient funds in the account what happens? Also I saw in another post that a tenant owes money until another tenant is found in Fl when there was a lease in place. Would this apply in the case of an eviction in Ga? Thanks For your help, Angela |
