What if the debtor refuses to pay the judgment?

Asked a year ago
If the debtor refuses to pay the judgment, there are several options available to enforce the judgment. One option is to garnish the debtor's wages, where a portion of their income is withheld and paid directly to the creditor. Another option is to place a lien on the debtor's property, which prevents them from selling or transferring ownership until the judgment is satisfied. Additionally, assets such as bank accounts or personal property can be seized through a levy. The creditor can also pursue a debtor examination, where the debtor is required to disclose their financial information under oath. In extreme cases, the creditor can request a court order for the debtor's arrest for contempt of court. It is important to consult with a legal professional to determine the most appropriate course of action in pursuing the recovery of the judgment.
