How can you collect on civil judgments in North Carolina if you can not attach bank accounts or garnish wages?
It may be possible to place a lien against real property owned by the judgment debtor. In most states concerning a small claims judgment property liens are not allowed and the plaintiff would have to file a lawsuit in circuit court to obtain another judgment writ that could be executed as a property lien. The inability for a creditor/lender to enforce a judgment is quite common, a fact many winning plaintiffs do not discover until even more money is lost on litigation. Before pursuing litigation it would be in the best interest of the lender to discover if a judgment could be executed in a timely and productive manner, or enforced at all. Almost 90% of debtor/defendants are considered "judgment proof" when it involves creditor lawsuits.
