Generally speaking(void of state considerations), you take your win

begin collecting things of value.
Nothing says compliance like a grab bag shopping trip through the
property of others. I suspect your "party" will quickly reconsider.
But if you use the writ to harrass the creditor instead of
honestly trying to collect the debt you could be liable for
"abuse of process."
The voters of Massachusetts approved a public campaign finance
law about six years ago but the legislature refused to fund it.
A candidate won a judgment against the state and was permitted
to seize and sell state property. He considered seizing the
Speaker of the House's office furniture but the judge thought
that was too much of a political stunt and not enough of a debt
collection attempt.
