>So I went the other route, filed a claim in small claims court. I provided the judge everything I sent to the credit union. Judgement was in my favor. Now he owes me the $4500. How do I collect? I can’t legally garnish any wages. Where I live, after 30 days of the debtor failing to pay the judgment, you'd make an appointment with the sheriff, bring a check for $35 and they'd attempt to enforce it for you; including garnishing wages, seizing property (real or personal) etc etc. I'm not surprised you didn't get far with police reports and fraud filings: breach of contract is not necessarily fraud.
