I have no idea as to where to post this, so I guess I will try here first.
I am hoping someone can give me ideas on how to find hidden money. I am in a lawsuit right now and I am positive there has been money hidden by the opposing side, the problem is finding it. I have hired a P.I. to search for bank accounts with no such luck. I am running out of time and would like to know if anyone has a clue on how to go about doing this?
Just FYI, the person in question has volunteered info. on the bank accounts they want me to know about and those records have been requested and received via subpoena but we suspect there are others that are not being offered up.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Nothing weird about this topic, hidden assets is an issue in many civil (as well as criminal) cases.
There are pro's in the game ... from the IRS to lawyers who do this type of inquiry all the time.
You need to engage the services of a legal professional who knows already how to discover hidden assets, if any, instead of trying to learn about it "on the job" when time is of essence to your current case.
A credit report would show major accounts. Accounts that have recently been cleared out would be a signal to an attorney to ask for more disclosure. In most states, transactions that occur in anticipation of a lawsuit can be rendered void by the court. The advice in that second link by the CPA borders on idiotic. The first link must be a hidden asset because it doesn't turn up anything.

This you are correct about, my only problem is I have two attorney's both don't seem to be too interested in looking or don't know how.
And yes learning "on the job" right now is not working for me

This is exactly what I thought, I thought any account you are linked with would come up in a credit report. Now I just have to somehow convince the judge to let us see the opposition's credit report to verify that we have all the accounts. In the state I'm in you must have the person's permission to pull their credit report.
It's just sad that people can get screwed over so easily.
If your private investiogators are worth anyhting ;you are unlikely to find anything they didn't.Most foten this comes up in a divorce and often its found that money was moved or elimioanted by one party. The problem is its often in small amounhts over a lengthy period . When asked to account its accout for by "I spendt it on living cost" and no one can prove otherwse to a courts satifaction.Veryhtig in ciivl cases is by sbupeona or court order and not voluntary really.Attorney's always hire experienced investiagtors to investiagte that is not their field really.Good luck you may be lookig for things not there to be legally found or not actaully recoverable as their moeny.
