Are there any other remedies available to me for nonpayment of a small claims court judgment?

Yes, there are a few remedies available to you if you have received a judgment from a small claims court in Delaware that is not being paid. First, you can send a demand letter to the person who owes you money. The demand letter should state the amount owed, include a copy of the court judgment, and explain that if the amount is not paid, you will take further action. Second, you can levy on and attach assets of the person or business that owes you money. This process involves a court-ordered seizure of a person or business’s bank accounts, investments, or other assets that can be sold to pay off your judgment. Third, you can file an Abstract of Judgment with the Delaware secretary of state, which puts the public on notice that you have a valid judgment. This will make it difficult for the person or business to obtain financing or to sell any real estate. Finally, you can request a Restraining Order, which the court can issue to prevent the person or business from transferring assets (such as stocks, bonds, and other investments) until your judgment is paid. These remedies may help you collect on your judgment, but if these methods fail, you may need to consider legal action with the help of an attorney.
