Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Bad Debts Go Uncollected
Small Claims Court » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Bad Debts Go Uncollected
This is true for most Americans:
- Some People who doesn't pay
- You go to small claims or civil court
- The judge or the magistrate agrees in your favor
- You never see any compensation.
Although the civil courts are set up to allow you to recover money, nothing in the manual says that it is easy. Civil court offers you fairly generic information on filing any garnishment of wages, bank garnishments, liens, and other methods of getting back what is owed to you that the small claims court awarded to you, but that information is too basic. So we are left with only a few choices:
- Call it a loss (Never see your money again)
- Wasting your time trying to learn how to recover your judgment 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 collection agency service isn't hard to figure out once you know how to use one, the process will save you time and money in the long run. You would think that once you were awarded judgment, the small claims court would make it easier for you to recover the funds that you are owed.
Small Claims Courts offers brochures to you explaining what your rights are as a debtor. Try to ask one of the court clerks how you go about finding the debtors bank account 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 get all of the important contact information and other important facts about the debtor is the process of skip tracing. The process of skip tracing involves finding credit report information 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 most credit reporting agencies won't let you retrieve 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 collection agency service, they will recover your money 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.
