      The Collecting Judgments e-course is designed to provide the knowledge needed to get the money from former tenants after you have the judgment.  In addition to discussing the subject from basic through advanced concepts, the course will take you step-by-step through the procedure, including how to locate your debtor and their assets.  A pre-course quiz will test your existing knowledge of the subject and a final quiz will allow you to see how much you learned.  You may repeat all or parts of the course as many times as desired.
