Building an Effective Asset List

Winning a judgment in court is a major step — but it's only half the battle. If your debtor isn't paying
voluntarily, you need to locate and pursue their assets to actually collect what you're owed. Once you have a clear picture of their assets, you can move forward with strong collection actions like wage garnishment, bank levies, and "execution" (the legal seizure and sale of a debtor's property).

Building an effective asset list doesn't have to start from scratch. Begin by scouring your own collections file for information you may already have about the debtor, including:

• Home and business addresses
• Bank names and account details (checking, savings, and business accounts)
• Information about significant assets, such as real estate, vehicles, boats, and recreational vehicles
• Place of employment (if the debtor is an individual)
• Professional licenses or business ownership interests
• Any known safety deposit boxes
