The enforcement of post-judgement actions can include several remedies. Wage garnishment, under certain circumstances, allows a creditor to collect directly from a debtor’s wages. You can record certain types of liens against a debtor’s property. Finally, if the debt is secured by collateral, you can initiate repossession (i.e. replevins).

Foreign Judgments

The name can be a little confusing, but a foreign judgment is any out-of-state judgement enforced against a debtor who owns assets in New Jersey. For example, if you are a creditor in New York State, but your debtor has defaulted in New Jersey, this may involve an out-of-state judgment. A Montville debt collection attorney can guide you in your enforcement rights in New Jersey.
