I won a judgement in small claims court against my landlord for $2000.He did not pay me within 6 weeks.I filed for a "order of examination" where the defendent has to come and explain why he could not pay and provide a statement of assets /bank acct.
He did not turn up. the Judge ordered a "bench warrant" against the defendent.
The warrant will be served by the "sheriff's dept" .I have a hunch that the defendent will not turn up in court inspite of a bench warrant.
He may give a medical reason or something for not turning up.
If he doesn't show up , it will be "contempt of court" but that still does not get me my money.What is the next step to get him to pay?
I have already filed liens on his property in the county clerk recorder's office.
Will the sheriff's dept or small claims court help me in informing credit agencies to report bad credit ?
