i am in virginia, i worked for a company for a little under a year, my last two paychecks were returned to me by the bank for nsf... i took my boss, a registered agent for the company in virginia ( the company is in nebraska) to court and won judgment against him for a warrant of debt, i have waited to 10 days and then called the state corporation commission to make sure he was still registered (i had that feeling). the lady says there is no company, here or in nebraska, the one i worked for was desolved! what do i do now? can i still garnish his wages? please help! thank you ahead of time for any suggestions...

Who did you sue and who did you win a judgment against??? Was it the 'boss' (agent) personally, or against the corporation????

If the boss, you sued the wrong person. If the corporation, you need to see if they filed for bankruptcy and get in line.

on the warrant it says "john doe, registered agent, abc.com. ", can i still sue the company? and for what?, the bad checks or a warrant of debt? how do i find out if they filed for bankruptcy?, what if my boss has bought the business i worked for and is running privately from the parent company, could i sue him then?
thank you for the fast response last time!

If your suit is styled as you state ("john doe, registered agent, abc.com") it may not be a valid suit.

It is very common for Pro Se (Pro Per) litigants to list the wrong party, or in the wrong style and this could be sufficient enough to throw out the lawsuit, or a default judgment.

In your case, your lawsuit should have been brought against the corporation, in its FULL CORRECT corporate name, with notice served on the registered agent. And if you win (or won), that is the ONLY party that you can collect from.

Q1) "on the warrant it says "john doe, registered agent, abc.com. ", can i still sue the company?"
A1) What do you mean??? Your earlier posts said that you had already sued and won!!!

Q2) "and for what?, the bad checks or a warrant of debt?"
A2) Again, you said you already won!! If so, why are you asking what to sue for??

Q3) "how do i find out if they filed for bankruptcy?,"
A3) Contact the bankruptcy court in the location of their corporate office.

Q4) "what if my boss has bought the business i worked for and is running privately from the parent company, could i sue him then?"
A4) Maybe. If his purchase agreement included all assets and liabities of the corporation, he would be liable.

Sorry, but you seem VERY confused about what you have done and to whom. With all the contradictions in your post, I would suggest you take all your documents to an attorney in your area for his review. He would best be able to sort this mess out and determine what, if any, your next action should be.

Best of luck....

i appreciate your patience and i am sorry to confuse you,
i did win against john doe, registed abc.com agent.
i thought i was sueing the company?
you said if i sued the agent that that was the wrong person,
my next question was can i sue the company then, meaning if i have already sued the agent (wrongfully, i guess) can i still sue the company?
and if i can sue the company do i sue them for the bad checks or a warrent of debt?
thanks again, and i will understand if you do not choose to respond this time, all of your input has been very helpful
