How hard is it to get the court to garnish somebody's wages if they owe you lots of money? How costly?

Send them a solicitors letter threatening court.
Might set you back a few 100 but if they are completely in the wrong and that can be proved then I'd imagine they'd cough up without the hassle of going to court.

You should ask a lawyer instead of the (allegedly) drugged-up jail-house lawyers on this forum.

This is why I always draw up written contracts when giving someone a loan. Makes the process that much easier.

i know a lawyer is better advice than shroomery advice, but shroomery advice is free and i know a lawyer will give free advice too but maybe i can do this without a lawyer because i don't want to have to pay one to get my money back. these things aren't jury trials, they are arbitrations with a judge.
i have plenty of evidence, witnesses, etc.

I know dudes who would collect for a percentage... they are NOT lawyers.
Legally, you are in a tough spot.

Usually, the guy's wife/family get the broken bones. It works better when you offload the suffering to a loved one.
Plus, the guy needs to work.

the limit is 7,500 in small claims court in colorado, i dont know if it even gets to 10,000 anywhere which leaves a large gap in that county court here is 15,000.
what are the circumstances?
you could potentially take him twice for two different parts of the loan if that is actually the case.
garnishment is the hard part and the pain in the ass part, my friend went through that for a far less amount, he would get defaulted on if its not filled out by his employer, but then the employer either has to show up and they can get in some trouble themselves if they dont. which is sort of stupid considering all they really have to do is fill out a 1-2 piece sheet of paper and it garnishes the employee, not the employer.
higher suits you could recoup lawyer fees, i would say it really all depends, give us more info at least.

How do you get yourself in a position where someone that untrustworthy owes you that much anyways?
