We got off relatively lightly, or so it would appear.

It's the people stupid enough to trust him and send him over money for his 'investment clubs' that have been stung. Some by £10k's

The "some sort of order on the house" would be a lien.
Check your real estate taxes are up to date as taxes and liens can be auctioned in some States.

If you think he may still be in the States then the cheapest way is to get a debt collecter to chase him for what he owes you. Rates are 30% of recovered amount or 40% if a case is filed. Filing cost are cheap less than $100. You may not get any money back if he has none but it hasn't cost you anything.
If you file a case it is unlikely he would show up, so you would get a judgement in your favour. If he gets stopped driving a car in Florida he will get manacled. smile (when they run him for outstanding warrants)

I believe all taxes and utility bills were paid directly by us.

He had also cut back on the cable/telephone package and continued to charge us full whack.

Nice chap.

But if you do catch up with, are you likely to see the money you're owed? It might just be cheaper to walk away from it (galling though that is).
