What is the name of your state? GEORGIA
I have read the OCGA Rules regarding Scire Facias and to Revive Judgment. I have located the Defendant in this case and she now resides in Texas. I have a company willing to pursue this collection in Texas, all I have to do is get the Judgment "revived". From what I have read I submit a Scire Facias to the Clerk at the Supreme Court where the Judgment was issued from. My question is this, according to OCGA Rules I have to either serve the defendant by the Sheriff or by publication in our local newspaper.Do I need to still do this here in GA,as she resides in Texas, in order for the Judgment to be revived here in GA.? OR will I just need to submit the Scire Facias and then the collection company will pursue it from there? Please help me out here as I have read and reread all I can find and still am scratching my head LOL! I want to do this right, obviously, as the amount owed to me is now well over $70,000! I have already spent well over $20,000 pursuing this and to pay an attorney over $1000 to file this paperwork seems rather outrageously priced thats all....NO OFFENCE intended to Attorneys, they do their job and deserve to be paid for it, but in my case I just feel I can do this myself and try and save the $1000+. Thanks in advance for any advice, your forums are excellent reading Sincerely, DoubleK
