Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Judgments Go Uncollected
Small Claims » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Judgments Go Uncollected
This is true for so many Americans:
- Some People does you wrong
- You send them to small claims
- The judge agrees in your favor
- You never receive any money that is owed to you.
Although the small claim court is structured to allow you to receive money owed to you, that doesn't mean that it is easy. The court system allows access to basic information on filing any garnishment of wages, bank garnishments, liens, and other ways of recovering the money you were awarded in court, however the information given to you will not teach you everything you need to know. Therefore, we are left with only a few options:
- Call it a loss (Never collect the money owed to you)
- Spend several weeks trying to learn how to get your money back yourself
- Call an attorney and spend your hard earned money on a retainer plus hourly fees of hundreds per hour
- Hire a debt collection service
Although judgment recovery service isn't very difficult to learn once you learn how to do it, the process can be very easy and beneficial. You would suggest that judgment is awarded to you, the court system would make it easier for you to collect the funds that are owed to you.
Small Claims Courts offers information packets to you explaining debtors rights. Try to ask one of the court clerks how you go about finding the debtors bank account information or the process to garnish the debtors wages, and you will get the same answer - 'we do not give legal advice'.
The best way to find the debtor's information about the debtor is the process of skip tracing. Part of this process involves finding credit report information on the debtor, and being a private investigator to connect all of the dots in the case. One of the hardest things a creditor will face is that almost all credit reporters won't let you 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 debt collection service, they will recover your money with no fees out of your pocket, and absolutely no fees unless the money owed to you is recovered. Unlike lawyers who charge a per hour fee, whether or not they are capable 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.
