Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Small Claims Judgments Go Uncollected
Small Claims » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Small Claims Judgments Go Uncollected
This is true for so many Americans:
- Some People does you wrong
- You go to small claims court
- The judge makes a decision to award you
- You never receive 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 is easy. The court system allows access to basic information on filing wage garnishments, liens, bank garnishments and other methods of getting back what is owed to you that you were awarded in court, but that information will not teach you everything you need to know. Therefore, we are left with only a few choices:
- Be defeated by your debtors (Never collect the money owed to you)
- Spend several weeks trying to learn how to collect your money yourself
- Hire 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 can be very easy and beneficial. You would suggest that once you were awarded judgment, they would make it easier for you to recover the funds that are owed to you.
Civil Courts offers information packets to you explaining debtors rights. Try to find out information from one of the court clerks how you find the debtors banking information or the process of garnishing the wages of the debtor, and you will get the same answer - 'we cannot offer legal advice'.
The easiest way to find the debtor's information about the debtor is the process of 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 hardest things a collector will run into is that most credit reporting agencies will not allow you to pull a credit report on somebody 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 absolutely no fees unless the money owed to you is recovered. Unlike attorneys 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.
