Is it possible to garnish another persons assets when they live in another state?
Question Details: So about 2 years ago I cosigned on a loan with another person a year later he left to live in another state. I now have a debt collector calling me left and right to collect this money he owes them. I think it has gotten to a point where we need to sue him in a court of law. Is it possible to get the money from him if he resides in another state? I also heard from a friend that since he works for a national company ( I will not name the company but safe to say they are a very large international company) that the collector can garnish his pay checks through that company is this true?
Under the laws of all sattes in this country, once there is a judgment against a person and that person resides in a state other than the one that the judgment was rendered, then the judgment creditor can file an application for a sister state judgment writ of levy and garnishment to grab assets of the judgment debtor in the state of residence.
If you get sued on the loan that you co-signed for, you need to cross complain against the person that received the benefits of the loan.
