Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Matters Are Not Pursued
Small Claims » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Matters Are Not Pursued
This is most typical for the people of the United States:
- Somebody did you wrong
- You take them to small claims or civil court
- The judge makes a decision in your favor
- You never see the money owed to you.
Although the small claim court 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 wage garnishments, liens, bank garnishments and other methods of recovering the money the courts awarded you, however that information is too generic. So we are left with only a few options:
- Let the debtor win (Never collect the money owed to you)
- Wasting your time trying to learn how to get your money back yourself
- Talk to an attorney and spend your hard earned money on a retainer plus hundreds per hour fees
- Hire a debt collection service
Although debt collection service isn't hard to figure out once you learn how to do it, the process can be worth the effort. You would suggest that once you were awarded judgment, they would make it less of a hassle for you to recover the funds that you are owed.
The 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 to garnish the debtors wages, and you will get the same answer - 'we do not give legal advice'.
The fastest way to find the debtor's information about the debtor is the skip tracing technique. The process of skip tracing 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 obstacles a debt collector will run into 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 judgment recovery service, they will recover your money with with no out-of-pocket fees, 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.
