Someone knowledgeable about such things told me the following recently:
If you sue someone in small claims court and win (either the judge rules in your favor or the defendant is a no-show), and the defendant doesn’t pay you, then they will not be able to re-register their car in the state of California until the claim is satisfied.
While I love the idea (and HOA’s should be pursuing this against deadbeats who leave upaid dues and foreclosed properties behind), I want further corroboration that this is the case. Anyone know?
