What is the name of your state? PA
Hi,
I live in PA and am suing someone in small claims court. I filed the papers in my hometown, and the defendant lives in TX. (The suit is for non-delivery of merchandise).
I suspect that they will not show up for the court date, and that I will receive the judgement. The woman that works at the court house has been very helpful and has cautioned me that it might be difficult to collect on the judgement.
I want to go into this as prepared as I can be, so is there anything I should do ahead of time (Such as trying to find out about all of his assets, etc)
Also, is it possible to execute a lien against someone who is out-of-state? Can I put a lien on his house, car, etc, and if so, is the process different than if we lived in the same state?
Thanks in advance for your advice. I'd be happy to provide further details if necessary.
