Friend of mine (not good with computers) filed a case in small claims court in Illinois in 2004. He got a default judgment in September of 2004 and then did a Citation to Discover Assets. It returned one bank account with a small amount in it. He missed the next court date and hasn't done anything with it since.
What are his options? Can he still enforce the judgment or is it stale? Should he try to get a wage garnishment or lien on the Defendant's house?How do you enforce a default judgment in Illinois?
Well missing that court date certainly doesn't help the matter. %26amp; seeing as it's several yrs later your ';friend'; very well might not have a leg to stand on.
The second link show the small claims rules for clark county in Illinois (example because you didn't say where this small claim is).
Section H shows that the claim can be dismissed due to inactivity. While this might not be the rule in the court where the ';friend'; has the small claim, inactivity is an issue.
