3 years ago I loaned a guy I was dating $5,000 to help with a business he started. We had an agreement that he would pay me back within a certain time frame. He didnt. I took him to court. I had him served by a P.I. but he still didnt show up in court. In fact the three times I had him served he never showed up. A judgement was placed against him. Now he seems to have dissapeared off the face of the earth. How long will the judgement apply? I am married now but I still really want my money back. Should I just let it go?

A bench warrant was issued but it expired since this was only a civil case. It cost me $100 each time I have the bench warrant renewed.

I did the same dam thing, only it was 2 years ago and it was 2,500
every thing your saying is word for word.
Did we both run in to the same S.O.B.?
every one keeps telling let it go take it as a lesson learned, ( hard for me to do.)
But after thinking of all the ruining around to find him,the time lost from work going to court and him not showing up,and the amount being $2,500>small claims.( he new what he was doing and how to get away with it) I'm letting it go.
I have sped about 1,100 so far trying to get back 2500.
I got his SS# and still cant find him or do anything with it, a lot of good it did me to get that from him.
My lesson ....I levee them as soon as thy start asking for any help over 500.
Good luck trying to find him, if you do find him you may have spend more then 5,000.
As you know Garnished wages not an EZ thing to do.
PI work big bucks $$$$.
But hay !! remember what go's around comes around , he'll get his.

you will need get a credit account opened and then build some months of reimbursement historic previous. terrific subject to do is circulate get a cellular telephone, they'll open an account for ET so i'm specific they might open one for you. next observe for a Capital One mastercard, save a samll stability in any respect situations.

if he has a judgement I would assume that the court issued a bench warrant because he failed to show?
either way you have to wait for him to be found.
Judgement will be in affect and on public record at the courthouse forever.
even after he pays it will still be on the record that he had a civil judgement.

I would let it go. You can't squeeze blood from a turnip & judgements are pretty much worthless in my opinion. Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear. You got off cheap. It could have cost you ten fold the amount you are now out.

Let it go unless you are in great need of this money. There are ways to get him to pay you back through the courts. They can garnish his wages if necessary.

If you have given up hope of tracking him down yourself, you can hire a collections agency. They have more tools to find him and they are persistent. The downside is that you probably won't end up with the full amount owed.

Let's hope that guy burns in hell.
Or at least gets a kick in the balls.

You will need proof it was a loan. Then you have to locate him. A good lawyer can help from there.
