claims court Is a hollow victory when you cannot collect You have a better chance of getting you money though if you know and understand the procedures set up for this purpose The most direct way of collecting a debt Is to take an asset of the debtor sell It and keep the money You can do this by bring Ing an execution against the personal property of the debtor that Is you put into the final or

jurisdiction of the court he or works for This means if Mr Jones assets or In the case of other collection procedures to be discuss ed his place of residence or employment arc outside the area of Jurisdiction of the court In which you obtained Judgment then you will have to work with the court that does have territorial jurisdiction The second problem la that basic assets such as household articles and tools of a trade tip to a certain value are exempt re by the bailiff The problem is that bailiffs arc paid only by the job done They will receive maximum of five dollars for these execut In fact because bailiffs don t have enough work to do except In major population cent res hey usually have other Jobs as well Be- Legally Speaking cause of this the bailiff is unlikely to pursue your execution the same that you would Even if he or she did It It unlikely he or she would anything unless it was an asset which was obviously not exempt from for example a stereo system An execution can be Issued real estate as well as personal prop erty if the judgment Is for more than MO If Mr Jones owns land or If you arc golmg to have prob lems collecting through other means you should file an
