I live in Kansas and this legal action has all taken place in Kansas.
I have a judgement from small claims court. The debtor did not come to court. We received a default judgement The debtor did not fill out the courts papers listing their bank accounts or other assets. She has quit their job, closed bank accounts and moved several times in the past year. They do most of their financial transactions with cash now. I know they have a car and I have all the information on the vehicle. Can I use that to file a lien against the title to help me in getting some leverage to get them to pay the debt? (for clarification. I am not a contractor so I cannot use a mechanics lien)
I also know that a city or school can claim a tax return of a debtor. Can an individual do that as well?
Obviously getting a judgement in small claims is the first in many steps to collect on an outstanding debt.
Thank you.
