Trying to collect a small claims judgment

[kristin1277]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY

I live in NYS and won a small claims judgment against a car dealership owned by a corporation. They did not show up in court and have since closed their dealership (but the corporation is still operating other businesses). I want to collect my judgment but don't know how! The clerk's office refers to the Sheriff's office for recovery. The sheriff's office provided me with a price list of things they can do to collect (income execusion, property ex, bank levy, etc) but CANNOT tell me which one applies to me seeing as its a corporation (they are not allowed to give legal advice) Spoke to a lawyer who wants a 1/3 to collect. Well, the judgment will have to pay off the car loan so I CANNOT give a lawyer 1/3 of it. Can someone please please please help me and tell me how to collect???

A levy will work if you know where the corporation banks and if they have enough money in the account.

[You Are Guilty]

Of course, this all assumes that your named the corporation as a defendant.
