I lent money to a former co-worker/friend from an old job. Was blown off when I asked to collect on loan and had to go to small-claims where I won the verdict. Person quit job when wage garnishment began and I have no idea where of if they are working. Court officer could find no property in defendants name to seize or to put a lien on. I know where the person used to bank but doubt they have much if any cash in an account- if they still have an account there. Former co-workers/mutual friends also have not heard from the person or, if they have, are not telling me (although I do have some "inside" help there so I pretty much believe them) anything. I cannot think of any other ideas (other than a p.i.) and the court is no help or offers any ideas. Any suggestions or am I eating the money?

See if you can talk a Bail Bondsman or a County Constable into helping you with a "skip trace" job.

if garnishment was ordered, unless he spends the rest of his life working under the table you will get your money back it just might take a long time
a good rule of thumb is never lend money to a co-worker or to family unless it is money you are prepared to lose
