Eighty Percent of Small Claims and Small Claims Judgments Are Not Pursued
Small Claims » Eighty Percent of Small Claims and Small Claims Judgments Are Not Pursued
This is such a familiar story for the people of the United States:
- Someone does you wrong
- You send them to court
- The court decides in your favor
- You don't get any compensation.
Although the small claim court is set up to allow you to receive money owed to you, nothing in the manual says that it isn't going to hard. Civil court offers you basic information on filing any garnishment of wages, bank garnishments, liens, and other ways of recovering the money the small claims court awarded to you, but the information given to you is too generic. Therefore, that leaves us with only a few choices:
- Let the debtor win (Never collect the money owed to you)
- Spend several weeks trying to learn how to collect your money yourself
- Talk to an attorney and spend your hard earned money on a retainer plus hourly fees of hundreds per hour
- Hire a Collection Agency
Although judgment recovery service isn't hard to figure out once you know how to use one, the process can be very easy and beneficial. You would think that judgment is awarded to you, the small claims court would make it less complicated for you to recover the funds that are owed to you.
Civil Courts offers brochures to you explaining what your rights are as a debtor. 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 important contact information and other important facts about the debtor is a process called skip tracing. The process of skip tracing involves pulling a credit report on the debtor, and being a private investigator to put all of the pieces together. One of the obstacles a debt collector will face is that almost all credit reporting agencies will not allow you to retrieve 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 attorneys 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.
