Michigan Debt Collection Services Explain Options for Collection Available Through the Courts

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. - EntSun -- Unsure what step to take after winning a judgment?

Once the appeal window has closed and your judgment becomes final and enforceable, the collection phase begins. Unless your debtor has already written you a check, you'll need to explore post-judgment remedies. The good news is that the courts offer a range of tools designed to help you recover what you're owed. Here's what's available.

Garnishment. A court order that directs a third party — typically an employer or a bank — to redirect the debtor's wages or cash assets toward your judgment. Garnishment is often one of the fastest, most effective ways to recover money, because it intercepts funds at the source before the debtor can spend them.

Writs to seize assets. A court order authorizing you to take possession of specific property belonging to the debtor — equipment, vehicles, or other valuables — which can then be sold to satisfy the debt. This option is especially useful when the debtor has significant physical assets but isn't cooperating with voluntary payment.

Judgment liens. Depending on your state's laws and the nature of the debt, you may have the right to place a lien against the debtor's assets. If those assets change hands — through a sale or refinancing, for example — you're positioned to recover what you're owed out of the transaction.

Examinations for assets under oath. A powerful discovery tool: you have the right to question the debtor under oath about their assets, income, and where they're located. This sworn testimony can reveal accounts, property, or income streams you didn't know existed — and it can't be dodged with vague answers the way casual questioning can.

Receivership. The court appoints a receiver to take control of your debtor's personal or business assets, then preserve or liquidate them for your benefit. This is a heavier hammer, typically reserved for more complex cases where assets need active management to protect their value.
