A question for all you smart people.

hairstylist? if she is a cash business, there may be little or no money visible to garnish wages/ freeze accounts.

hassle factor > $$ value IMO,... unless you can sell the debt somehow.

Are you sure?  I don't remember seeing feces on the poster of items not allowed to be mailed on display at the Post Office. 

HAHAHHAH!!!!!

people widely use credit cards for hair stylists.  when i was shopping for credit processing services, one of the companies provided me with literature as to the number of charges and hair stylists are in the top 10 "brick and mortar" retail businesses in terms of number of charges per day.

it's very hard for people to own a business like that without having a bank account.

Easy for me to say, since I'm a detached observer, but based only on my own experiences, I think it's better to grow out of it being more about punishing an evil person mode and get into the practical side of it just being about getting your Dad's money back.

In my case it's too easy to get obsessed with "justice" and it has real negative effects on my own daily life.  Of course, you may have this more under control and not so personally affected by it.

to be honest...it's less about money, and more about punishing a evil person who took advantage of an old man.

yeah, that's good advice.

practical  = get money back

justice = burn down her house

stick with practical.
