What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
Sued friend that we loaned money to and was awarded the judgement of $3000 plus interest and courts costs. She never showed up. We new where she worked and filed a wage garnishment from her employer. Received call from her employer stating she no longer worked there anymore. The employer was responsible to reply to the court order within 45 days but the didn't do this.
Received court date with her employer and was awarded the judgement of the $3000 plus interest that her employer is responsible to pay us now since they were responsible to respond and didn't within the time frame.
Question is we were not given any direction on how to collect from her employer now. There was a document for post judgement but not sure which to fill out saying we had three options to choose from.
1 Writ of FI FA
2 Garnishment
3 Post Judgement Interrogatories
The people working offered no advice and said if we had questions to contact an attorney. Trying not to have to do that since it was a small claims.
I believe it was the garnishment form but we filled out the Interrogatory form first because the garnishment form required a bank account from her employer first. So we filled that out first.
Just want to make sure we are doing the right thing.
Thanks in advance.
