you have to write a demand letter.
if no luck, get a court order to place a lien on any property, attach wages, or to force a sale of personal property.
there are a few other options, but these are the principal remedies.

Well for starters it doesn't do any good to win a civil lawsuit if the one you are suing can't pay.
You can go through wage garnishment and what not. The court where youwon the civil suit should be able to tell you. It varies from state to state.

There's a lot of ways. If the debtor is employed, you can garnish (take) a portion of his wages. If he has property, you can take his property through a Writ of Execution. If he has real estate, you file a transcript of judgment and record it with your county and you can then foreclose his real estate. These are document-intensive matters and have to be done correctly. They are not difficult for an attorney who specializes in collections matters and not very expensive. You can also recover the atty fees you incurred in collecting the judgment. In my state the judgment is good for 14 years and can be re-newed. Therefor, if the debtor has nothing now, you can file the transcript of judgment and wait. It will appear on his credit report. The judgment draws interest, also. In my state the interest rate on judgments is 8 1/2 %.

You can't get money from a dry turnip. No matter how much you were awarded, if there are no funds, you can't get diddley. Look at the O.J.case. No money, no getting anything.

The court awards it to you, and if the other party doesnt pay report it to the court and they send the cops out.
