How to get SSN for a judgement?

[Anjali L.]

I had an inherited tenant that stopped paying rent more than a year ago. We have a judgement against her for 15k, I do not have her SSN to begin the collection process. Any recommendation on how to go about this?

Unless you have access to commercial databases that contain SSNs, you best bet is to hire a "skip tracer" or a private investigator.  Before hiring a skip tracer or private investigator, let him know that you want the former tenant's SSN, date of birth, drivers license number, etc. and that you need this information to collect a judgment or bad debt.  The cost should be somewhere in the range of $200.00 to get the information.
