I have a court judgement against an individual and need to proceed with an involuntary allotment/wage garnishment however I need to fill in his Social Security Number on the form. I do not have it. How can I go about getting it? He was served an Information Subpena which would have included that along with assets and bank account info but he ignored it and is currently in contempt of court for that. Having him served with those papers is another issue.
Some websites claim they can get the SSN but will only do it for legal cases and with proof like a court judgment, which I do have. Has any one ever used any resources like that and actually got info that was useful and couldn't find on the web on their own?
Biggest issue is, he was active duty military and I don't currently know his status. At one time he was pending military jail time so I'm not sure if he's locked up now or has been dishonorably discharged. I have a lien on his NY house, but in November I was served with a notice that the bank was foreclosing on his property and my lien, being the junior lien would most likely get dissolved since after the sale, there probably wouldn't be enough left over to cover the debt.
I've tried to track him myself and ran into a few dead ends. I have a feeling he is now living at his mothers place in Indiana. I have the address and names of relatives wife etc. but no active phone numbers. The wage garnishment would be used in case he is still locked up(he'd still be getting some military pay) and if he's not then it would get returned and I would then know he's no longer in the military.
So far I have not had any luck with dealing with his old unit or Jag but I'm still running down leads. The court has been pretty helpful so I'm hoping maybe they can provide his SSN. 6 months prior to my case, he was arrested in the same town for domestic violence and all his info should be on record there. I'm thinking maybe I can subpena those documents to aid in the fulfillment of my case. I even sent a letter to the former acting 1st Sgt of his unit, when he was pending confinement, to see if he can tell me what ever happened with him.
Any one have any other advice for routes I can try? If all this fails, I'll be making a trip this spring out to Indiana.
