Jurisdiction

New York

attempted to collect on 2 judgements (one on business & 2nd on individuals) via sheriff's civil division. they told me i had to get the business & personal bank account information before they would accept the judgement to be served in 2000. Business closed, one owner died, other person involved is living. can i still attempt to collect knowing where person works and what bank he does personal business with?

All you can do is try.
If you're one of the 5% of judgment holders who get lucky, you might get $5 or $6.

Good luck.

Yes, NY CPLR Section 211 is still in effect to my knowledge. This document from the New York State Bar Association on Enforcement of Civil Judgments should be most helpful and informative. I believe that there is an excerpt of what I have, which is generally marketed to New York state attorneys.
