Eighty Percent of Small Claims and Civil Matters Dont Get Recovered
Small Claims Court » Eighty Percent of Small Claims and Civil Matters Dont Get Recovered
This is most typical for so many Americans:
- Somebody does you wrong
- You send them to court
- The judge agrees to award you
- You never see the money owed to you.
Although the small claim court is structured to allow you to recover money, nobody said that it isn't going to hard. Civil court offers you basic information on filing wage garnishments, liens, bank garnishments and other methods of recovering the money the courts awarded you, but that information will not teach you everything you need to know. So we are left with only a few options:
- Be defeated by your debtors (Never see your money again)
- Spend several weeks trying to learn how to get your money back yourself
- Hire an attorney and pay a retainer plus hourly fees of hundreds per hour
- Use a judgment recovery service
Although debt collection service isn't hard to figure out once you know how to use one, the process can be worth the effort. You would suggest that once the court awards you the judgment, the court system would make it less of a hassle for you to collect the funds that you are owed.
The courts offers information packets to you explaining what your rights are as a debtor. Try to find out information from one of the court clerks how you go about finding the debtors bank account information or the process of garnishing the wages of the debtor, and you will find a familiar answer - 'we cannot offer legal advice'.
The easiest way to find the debtor's information about the debtor is a process called skip tracing. The process of skip tracing 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 debt collector will face is that almost all credit reporters won't let you pull 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 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 slap you with per hour fees, 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.
