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

Yes, if you obtain a judgment in small claims court but the other party does not pay, there are other remedies available to you. In Washington, you can convert your judgment into a lien on the debtor’s real property by filing a Notice of Judgment Lien with the county clerk. You can then file for a turnover order in superior court, which will require the debtor to give you items equal in value to the amount of your judgment. Finally, you can garnish the debtor’s wages or bank accounts to collect the amount due. Keep in mind that there are specific procedures and filing fees associated with these remedies. It may be helpful to consult an attorney who can assist with the paperwork and answer any questions you may have. Additionally, you can contact the small claims court clerk in your district for more information on available remedies.
