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

Hello,

I am trying to figure out what I have to do next to go about collecting on a small claims judgment. My judgment has been (I guess you say) converted into a civil mater as of a couple of days ago since they have decided to not pay the original judgment (and so I went back in after the 30 days and they converted the judgment to a civil mater). I was able to get a copy of the last check that was made out to us (business) which is from a HOA. So I have account information, bank information etc from this check. So my question is what do I do now?

I really appreciate any and all information that you can supply. If you can layout a step by step guide that would be great. Like do I also need to send anything in the mail certified with return receipt to the bank and or defendant? If I do serve papers in the mail do I send them to the bank first and then wait a week or two to send a copy to the defendant? How do I keep the defendant from hiding any if all funds in this account and or how do I go about seizing this money (at least for my judgment) before they are notified so they don’t do anything to prevent me from collecting?

Thanks again!
