Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Northwest Portland Auto Show, Jan 26-29

Off the Auto Show topic: You can still go after her individually, without a carrier defending/paying her judgment. Granted, small claims court filing fees may be good money down a hole if you did not find her employer or bank to garnish, for after you get your judgment on her. You could first see if she wants to discuss an installment plan, and while discussing that, find out where she works. Then ask her where she has a bank account, you want to see if she could write you a first check against what she owes you, maybe she'll blurt out where her account is. And you can threaten her with having her license revoked. Sometimes that gets their attention, but sometimes they're just deadbeats and already suspended.

Do you have a repair estimate from a shop? Any tow/storage bills? And mailing a demand under ORS 20.080 only costs about $5 for the certified mail/return receipt routine.
