What's the best way to collect money from eviction ?

I recently won monetary damages from an eviction hearing for a little over $7,000. This is my first eviction that I would like to make an attempt to recover the funds. I was looking for any recommendations on how to proceed. Not sure if it matters but the judgement and property are located in Carbon County, PA. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Find out where they work and garnish their wages. Get their license plate and put a lien on their vehicle. Put a lien on any property they own. Contact a debt collection company and have them handle it for you. 

Good luck.

    @Kenneth Burke

    Other than figuring out how to have their wages garnished, good luck with collecting ten cents of that $7000

    @Kenneth Burke I actually had success with a debt collection company one time. They take a high percentage, but a percentage of something is better than 100% of nothing.
