The other thing that strikes me is that there's a whole lot of other kinds of debt collection or enforcement methods, and some were mentioned by Nicole McKee—for example, garnishee proceedings: an old fashioned word, but basically it means that if one person owes money to the judgment debtor, then the judgment creditor can get the court to order the money to be paid to them; or an attachment order: an order which says to the employer of the judgment debtor, "Don't pay the judgment debtor their wages; pay them to me."
