Hi Vickie,
To locate a debtor's bank account in Illinois, certain methods include:
- Post-judgment discovery tools (interrogatories, depositions, or subpoenas).
- Conducting asset searches through private investigators.
Bank account information is generally not public record.

Hi Vickie,
In Missouri, once you obtain the bank information through post-judgment discovery, you can quickly file for a garnishment order. This order directs the bank to freeze the debtor's account, preventing them from withdrawing funds.
