Participant[quote=davelj]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?[/quote]
I can confirm that used to be true for judgements that were the result of traffic incidents. (I had an uninsured driver hit me back in the 80’s and sued for damage to my motorcycle.) I had to file my small claims judgement with the DMV.
However, the DMV wasn’t very good at matching their list against name changes – she changed her name back to her maiden name and voila – she was back in business.

ParticipantIf you’re rental is a single family, you can get the parcel # from zillow or redfin.
Then use that (rather than the address) to look up the property on the county website. Put the parcel # in for the bill # field on the sdtreastax website.
You can also see if a lien has been placed against your landlord by going to sdarcc.com and doing a grantee/grantor search. Put in the landlord’s name. That would show previous year’s liens for property taxes (or other taxes) – but liens for the new defaults haven’t been recorded yet for this year.
Additionally – you can go to http://www.sdcourt.ca.gov/portal/page?_pageid=55,1056871&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL and put in your landlord’s name – see if anyone is suing him/her.
(I’m working on becoming a super-sleuth, trying to figure out if it’s worth going after our former @#$# contractor that abandoned our project. Public records show him to be a widely varied deadbeat… so if we sue him, it will be for moral victory more than anything.)

Participant[quote=santeeman][quote=mwtosd]Maybe there is a huge increase in them because of the coming moratorium at the beginning of July in CA and the banks want to foreclose on as many as fit the timeline from the previous moratorium?[/quote]
Where do you find info on this upcoming moratorium?
I have searched and can’t find anything on it.[/quote]
Here’s the info on it:
http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/victorville-12457-foreclosure-heart.html
The bill, called the California Foreclosure Prevention Act, was introduced by Sen. Ellen Corbett, D-San Leandro, and attached to the budget package in February. The foreclosure moratorium takes affect June 15 and covers owner-occupied homes where the first loan was recorded between Jan. 1, 2003, and Jan. 1, 2008.
