You may have done the right thing.
There was a case before mine, an elderly couple swindled by a landscaper who took a bunch of money, did a tiny bit of crappy work, then disappeared.
Landscaper didn’t show up at trial and they won a default judgement; but good luck collecting from a ghost.
100% this - just because a judge decided in your favour - actually collecting the debt is the hardest part.
