Her name is Danielle Suzanne Shamblin, and her husband is Michael Ray Shamblin. I know they are somewhere in Texas, as the attorney has said, but when searching online I get multiple or inconsistent records, if at all (they seem to indicate largely that she's in Arlington, TX). The problem with filing a small claims court or going to the police is if I can't get her address, then I'm not allowed to file anything.

Like how fucked up is that. Someone who doesn't pay you roughly $800 in paychecks probably doesn't want to be found, so as long as they flee the state, and hide somewhere, then it's totally okay to fuck people over. But if you are an upstanding businessman who keeps your business running, or is locatable, particularly in the same state, then they can do something about it. As if people who screw over their employees for nearly a grand are going to be the same kind of people who stick around town and tell everyone where they live. pfft.

I'm going to go to small claims court, and have them issue it to the lawyer, and hope that flies.

I'm also going to talk to the police, again. I talked to them once, and within 20 seconds they forwarded me to the magistrate, who was a total dick but said I need to get a police report on it, and have them list address as unknown, and just give the lawyer's info and the possible addresses I found as pertinent information.

But since it's a fucking felony amount of money, I can't issue the warrant myself, I have to get a police investigator to handle it. Just how grand is that, if you fuck over someone for just $10 on their paycheck, they can get in big trouble, but if it's for a shitton of money, then it has to be authorized, a police officer has to take the case, et cetera.

So hopefully I'm going to get a felony case going with the police, and use it as pressure against the lawyer. I mean, there's not much to it, it's just going to be there and it's out of my control. But it's the least I can do. Secondly, I'll file a small claims court warrant in debt, and hopefully a judge may see what I'm talking about.

I have no suggestions but that really sucks dude. She shouldn't get away with it. Get a few more details, post on Reddit and hope it blows up?


hahahahaha. really. Hm... I'll go see what happens on monday with filing the claim and felony charges first.

Hire a private investigator to find her address, and then go there and serve her the papers. Im sure it would only cost roughly $100, and you might be able to get that money back as well in small claims court.


I'm in VA, she's in TX. It'll be more than $100, but she owes me about $800 so sure. The issue is that can the investigator actually get anything done though?

Call the police first they will help you out more than posting on TL i promise.


Read the thread first bro.


If the OP is able to get the police involved, it hopefully won't be his responsibility anymore.

But I doubt that.


The police and civil claims court are two different things. So filing the police claim won't do anything in regards to me getting money at all, it just makes her a felon and makes life hard for her. It's also the right thing to do bro!

Seriously though, I need that money, I've needed that money. So putting a felony charge on her will only help with getting her put in a situation where she is forced to pay me, because she's obviously not going to do it on her own accord.

Which means I have to go to civil court to get the money back. But it would help, I suppose, if she was a felon, and the court knew she had a felony for writing a bad paycheck to me, since that's what we're going to court over in the first place.

Technically those 2 other paychecks were made, and are bad paychecks, and are felonies too, but I never got them. That one paycheck, I have, which was cancelled, is a clear bad paycheck, boom, felony. The other two, well, I just don't have the 'evidence' for, but I can definitely claim them in civil court using the time records from the work.

So I'm all for finding her online, but all the websites I come across require payment.

I'm all for paying for the records, but I can't tell which site is the best to pay for, and if the site is even legit.

Anyone know what the best people locator site is?

Spokeo is pretty good i'd say, looks legit. here: Spokeo

searched for myself and a few friends, and found them (with limited information, as you need to pay to see everything). however with asian and middle eastern immigrants, it gets tricky for obvious reasons, so i couldn't find some of my co-workers who immigrated here from hong kong

sorry about that man, hope you burn her ass once you find her

yea that was weird. how does it know she likes christian music. Or is that made up?

The issue is, if I pay for it, will it be worth it?

well, try searching other people you know and judge whether it is credible. i don't know about the christian music thing though, i didn't see that kind of stuff when i searched my friends.. maybe it is linked to a social network that she has an account with, as it pulls personal information from them. and since this is for the purpose of only her, it does feel rather sketchy.

hm. there's a seven day free trial for PeopleSmart, and there appears to be a 42 year old Danielle S Shamblin. i guess it's free lol.. dunno man.

I support the idea of perhaps trying Reddit. If you can just get her address or find her in Texas, they can help you out. Since you know what she looks like, her husband or relations, it narrows it down a lot. It also helps that you know her previous residences or businesses.

Good luck!

I feel that you should file the police report. In case she gets caught doing something else, you will definitely be able to follow up.

EDIT: I assume this is not her? http://twitter.com/daniellebitch

LoL.

^ That is not her.She is 42 years old, and has blonde (bleached?) hair. She just took down the 'proxy' facebook account where she was posting on facebook using her 2 year old granddaughterss name.

I just did that free peoplecheck report.

It says she's in mechanicsville,va. Unless she actually never left the state and is still in the same address, that is wrong. I suppose it's possible everyone has said she's in texas and she isn't... i mean i could just drive there, since mechanicsville is basically richmond... but um... yea. That's what I mean by i dont want to pay for a report to get a wrong report.

Or maybe that address would be good enough for filing for court?

while I can understand that the situation the OP is in sucks, you should refrain from publicly denouncing people. Even though you might be in the right it can get tricky. At least here in Germany you only hurt your own case when you make any information public and you might even get sued by the guy you are talking about. So you should talk to an admin here so he deletes this thread.

What really bugs me is that US still seems to rely heavily on paychecks. Personally I dont know any work here that would give you a paycheck, it's really outdated at least here.

It's not that the US is outdated. It's that the place he worked was outdated. Big corporations/government always do direct deposit.

The only advice I have is make sure it is worth your time and emotional stress. And quite frankly, the search for her seems to be in vain because she was operating as head of the company, so all her actions were done in the name of the company. You have no legal recourse towards her personally and only have a claim to whatever cash remains from the liquidation of the company (if it comes to that). Just file your claim with the company and move on.

That and a lot of people still prefer the touch and feel of a check in their hands and/or don't have a bank account. You'd be surprised how fearful some people are of financial institutions.

As mentioned already, post it on Reddit.

You should get more than enough manpower to help your cause there.

In all honesty, if she owes a lot of money to the IRS i doubt your chances of getting something back are over 20%.

This seems kinda stupid, isn't it the police job's to find out about people? And shouldn't police work hand-in-hand with the justice system?

Anyway, trying a private investigator sounds like the best idea so far, so you can get her adress and sue her. However keep in mind that there's chances you're not gonna see your money back (or at least it might take a lot of time) so you know how much you can afford to "waste" on a detective.
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

I posted on reddit, I got one post that wasn't helpful. I posted it in r/legal.

I'm just going to list her lawyer, and the address that seems most likely.
