:confused: undefinedWhat is the name of your state?Indiana On Aug. 4th 2004 I received a judgement in the amt. of $2,767.69 for monies owed me for the use of a credit card. The item that was purchased was a large screen TV. Both verbally and written the plaintiff agreed to make acceptable payments until the bill was paid, this didn't happen. After talking to the defendent and being cursed at and threatened I decided to file in Small Claims Court. On the day the judge ruled in my favor the defendent gave me $600.00 toward the judgement and promised to make regular payments of at least $500 monthly. I received $100 10/26/04, $50 10/12/04,$125 12/18/04 then $200 on Jan. 1 2005. I feel so foolish having to put this all on paper but I guess if I want a remedy I have to start somewhere. The defendent is my stepdaughter who filed for bankruptcy in 1993. My stepdaughter also operates (2) that I know of "escort" services and I have personally seen her make upwards of a thousand dollars a night or more. I've never known her to go out on calls herself, she has other girls that she pays to do that. She lives and has lived with a drug dealer for the past 15 yrs. When things get slow he picks up the slack. He also recruits new help for my stepdaughters business. In the summer of 1995 the defendents house caught on fire (as I now know under very mysterious circumstances). She was able to save her jewelry and vintage automobile. Total insurance loss was approx. $500,000.00. She has not, nor am I sure she will ever be compensated. I digress so back to the issue. I got tired of waiting for any more payments so I filed a "default motion" on March 1st 2005 and it was heard on April 13,2005. The defendent came into court with false xerox receipts and tried to convince the Judge she was up to date on payments. The Judge of course refused the xerox copies and gave her 30 days to produce the originals. 30 days later the defendent did not show up in court and I was given a Motion for Proceedings Supplemental by default. I have no idea where she lives, phone #, or means to contact her. I DO have her SS# but like her boyfriend I don't think she uses a bank. They run a strictly cash operation to circumvent the IRS, judgements, keep identitys safe and employees preference. I realize there is no magic bullet to resolve her debt to me but I have (I think) exhausted all legal remedies in the courtroom. What I need is someone to point me in the right direction to bring closure to this. I am willing to read books or what ever it takes. My wife & I are on a very limited income. She works at a fast food place and I am on Social Security Disability. I use to work as a Paralegal for over 10 yrs. but my firm dealt primarily in nursing home abuse. I guess I should have paid more attention to the Small Claims aspect in school. Any suggestions?
