Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Bad Debts Go Uncollected
Small Claims Court » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Bad Debts Go Uncollected
This is most typical for the people of the United States:
- Somebody did you wrong
- You go to civil court
- The court agrees in your favor
- You don't get the money owed to you.
Although the small claim court is structured to allow you to get your money back in court, nobody said that it is easy. Small claims court allows access to basic information on filing wage garnishments, liens, bank garnishments and other methods of recovering the money the small claims court awarded to you, but that information is too basic. So that leaves us with only a few choices:
- Be defeated by your debtors (Never recover your money)
- Spend several weeks trying to learn how to recover your judgment yourself
- Call an attorney and pay a retainer plus hourly fees of hundreds per hour
- Hire a debt collection service
Although judgment recovery service isn't hard to figure out once you learn the simple steps of using one, the process will save you time and money in the long run. You would think that judgment is awarded to you, the court system would make it less complicated for you to collect the funds that you are owed.
Civil Courts offers brochures to you explaining debtors rights. Try to find out information from one of the court clerks how you find the bank information of the debtor or the process for garnishing the debtors wages, and you will get the same answer - 'we cannot offer legal advice'.
The best way to get all of the important contact information and other important facts about the debtor is the skip tracing technique. Part of this process involves finding credit report information on the debtor, and being a private investigator to put all of the pieces together. One of the obstacles a collector will run into is that almost all credit reporters will not allow you to pull a credit report on someone if you don't own or operate a legitimate company that complies with FRCA laws and regulations.
If you use a judgment recovery service, they will collect your money for you with with no out-of-pocket fees, and no fees if your funds aren't recovered. Unlike lawyers who charge a per hour fee, whether or not they are able to collect your fees.
We recommend letting a professional National Collection Agency handle your outstanding debts for the most effective and efficient no-upfront cost way to collect on monies owed to you.
