Eighty Percent of Small Claims and Small Claims Judgments Are Not Pursued
Small Claims Court » Eighty Percent of Small Claims and Small Claims Judgments Are Not Pursued
This is most typical for so many Americans:
- Somebody who doesn't pay
- You send them to small claims court
- The judge decides in your favor
- You never see the money owed to you.
Although the civil system is structured to allow you to get your money back in court, nobody said that it isn't going to hard. The court system allows access to basic information on filing any garnishment of wages, liens, bank garnishments and other ways of recovering the money the courts awarded you, but that information is too basic. So we are left with only a few choices:
- Let the debtor win (Never collect the money owed to you)
- Wasting your time trying to figure out how to collect your money yourself
- Call an attorney and pay a retainer plus hundreds per hour fees
- Use a judgment recovery service
Although debt collection 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 once you were awarded judgment, the small claims court would make it less of a hassle for you to recover the funds that are owed to you.
Small Claims 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 of garnishing the wages of the debtor, and you will find a familiar answer - 'we do not give legal advice'.
The easiest and fastest way to get all of the information about the debtor is the skip tracing technique. Part of this process involves finding credit report information on the debtor, and playing private detective to connect all of the dots in the case. One of the hardest things a collector will face is that most credit reporting agencies won't let you pull a credit report on someone if you do not own or operate a legitimate company that complies with FRCA laws and regulations.
If you use a debt collection 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 slap you with per hour fees, 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.
