Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Small Claims Judgments Are Not Pursued
Small Claims » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Small Claims Judgments Are Not Pursued
This is most typical for so many Americans:
- Someone did you wrong
- You take them to small claims
- The court makes a decision in your favor
- You never receive the money owed to you.
Although the small claim court is set up to allow you to recover money, nobody said that it is easy. Civil court offers you basic information on filing wage garnishments, bank garnishments, liens, and other ways of getting back what is owed to you that the small claims court awarded to you, but the information given to you is too generic. So that leaves us with only a few choices:
- Call it a loss (Never recover your money)
- Spend all of your time trying to figure out how to get your money back yourself
- Call an attorney and pay a retainer plus hourly fees of hundreds per hour
- Hire a Collection Agency
Although collection agency service isn't hard to figure out once you learn the simple steps of using one, the process can be worth the effort. You would suggest that once you were awarded judgment, the court system would make it less of a hassle for you to recover the funds that you are owed.
Civil Courts offers brochures to you explaining debtors rights. Try to ask one of the court clerks how you find the debtors banking information or the process for garnishing the debtors wages, and you will get the same answer - 'we cannot offer 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. Part of this process involves pulling a credit report on the debtor, and playing private detective to connect all of the dots in the case. One of the obstacles a creditor will face is that almost all credit reporters won't let you retrieve a credit report on somebody if you do not 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.
