Trash Runs And Judgment Enforcement
I am not an attorney, I am the judgment broker
. This article is my opinion, and not legal advice, based on my experience in California. If you ever need legal advice or a strategy to use, please contact an attorney.
One "dirty tactic" used by some judgment enforcers is Diving In Dumpsters. Diving In Dumpsters is taking and inspecting a debtor's trash. It's messy, slightly risky, and certainly isn't a first, or a favorite method to get hints about where judgment debtors travel to, and the judgment debtor's assets.
Most often, diving in dumpsters is used with clever judgment debtors that are wealthy, yet seems to have no assets. Even for average judgment debtors, if an enforcer has a "nose" for it, diving in dumpsters may be one of the most cost efficient and effective way of finding information about a judgment debtor's assets.
Besides disgusting trash, what can you find in a debtor's trash can? Judgment enforcers have located address verifications, bank statements, paycheck stubs, and information about relatives, businesses, properties, and investments; in garbage receptacles.
The busier and wealthier a judgment debtor is, the more important information they often leave in their trash. Dumpster diving is hardly ever used for poor debtors, because they usually will have only garbage in their garbage.
The amount of the judgment is not going to show you anything about your debtor. Where the debtor lives and what kind of car they drive will at least show what their cash flow looks like. Cash flow won't show you if they own something, only that they have a cash flow. If they handle cash, you may be able to have some of it garnished.
Diving in dumpsters isn't for everyone. Even when you're ready to do it, some will approve. The original judgment creditor and your judgment recovery buddies may cheer, but your family and spouse might suggest that you look for another line of work. Besides the mess, smell, and hassle of dumpster diving, there are other drawbacks and risks.
First, there are the hassles. Trash smells bad, and driving with, and handling garbage in bags, is not on anyone's top ten list. You should count on bags leaking, so placing them on top of drop cloths, plastic bag liners, or old rugs, makes sense.
There are also some risks. There could be dangerous and nasty items, for example toxic substances or exposed drug needles. You may get stopped by the police for acting suspiciously. You might be confronted by an angry dog or person.
I heard that there is a US Supreme Court decision which states after garbage is on the street in the receptacles, it is no longer private property. However, some communities have laws against inspecting or taking trash, so check with your local authorities.
Thinking about what you're throwing into your trash, makes you want to use a shredder.
