I have a judgement against my past tenant for money owed, and a garnishment order. I have been having trouble locating current bank and employer. He was employed by his brother at a construction company the brother started. Recently, I've discovered that the * brothers are now the owners of a new business. Their business is a franchise company. When I send this garnishment request to the new franchise business, do I send it to their franchise business address? And since my past tenant and his * brothers own it, what are the chances that they will follow the garnishment?
Hey Lesa! Here are some general points to consider for sending garnishment orders in Missouri:
- Send the garnishment request to the franchise's business address.
- Include details about the debtor's ownership stake.
- Compliance with garnishment depends on local laws and the business's adherence to legal obligations.
Do you want more information on how garnishment works in Missouri or any other related legal issues?
Or do I send it to the corporate/head office address? How actually would cut their checks and which one, corporate or franchise, would address the garnishment?
Hey Lesa! Generally, you should send the garnishment order to the franchise's business address where your past tenant is employed or has ownership.
- The franchise is typically responsible for handling garnishments if they are the employer.
- Checks are usually cut by the entity where the debtor is employed.
If you're unsure, verify with the franchise on their process for garnishments. Would you like more detailed information on garnishment procedures in Missouri?
The problem with verifying with the franchise on the garnishment process, is that the * brothers, one of which is my tenant, is most likely who will answer the phone. I'm not expecting much assistance from the * of them.

This ensures all bases are covered and can help ascertain the proper entity responsible for garnishments. If you suspect non-compliance, consulting a lawyer might be beneficial. Would you like more information on Missouri garnishment procedures or any other related legal issues?
When you say, "include details about the ownership stake", what would that be. Could you give me examples of that? And I assume this would be mentioned as part of the garnishment request. ?

Hey Lesa! When you include details about the ownership stake, you can mention:
- The percentage of ownership your tenant has in the business.
- Any role or title they hold within the company.
- Any financial interest or stake in the profits.
These details can be part of the garnishment request to establish the debtor's connection to the business. Let me know if you need more help!
Yes, can you be even more specific. A written example? He is one of the * owners in this franchise business. I know adding this info can be beneficial for me, but I want to make sure I do it right and word it correctly.
