1. Are there any collection methods your office has that are not available to private attorneys? If so, what are they?

Yes, we can:

• Intercept state and federal taxes
• Have liens placed on vehicles
• Attach Indiana unemployment income and Indiana lottery winnings
• Seek seizure of passports
• Refer delinquent payors to the credit bureau if they owe more than $1,000
• Seek suspension of driver's licenses or professional licenses
• Seize money from delinquent payors bank accounts

While attorneys may seek some of these remedies it is easier for our office to obtain results because we can do these things administratively (without going to court) and we automatically receive this type of information from the state.
