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 the people of the United States:
- Someone who doesn't pay
- You take them to court
- The court agrees in your favor
- You never receive any compensation.
Although the civil system is structured to allow you to recover money, nothing in the manual says that it is easy. Small claims court offers you basic information on filing wage garnishments, liens, bank garnishments and other ways of getting back what is owed to you that you were awarded in court, but the information given to you will not teach you everything you need to know. So we are left with only a few options:
- Call it a loss (Never recover your money)
- Wasting your time trying to learn how to collect your money yourself
- Talk to an attorney and pay a retainer plus hundreds per hour fees
- Hire a debt collection service
Although debt collection 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 suggest that judgment is awarded to you, they would make it less of a hassle for you to recover the funds that you are owed.
Small Claims Courts offers pamphlets to you explaining debtors rights. Try to ask one of the court clerks how you find the bank information of the debtor or the process for garnishing the debtors wages, and you will get the same answer - 'we do not give legal advice'.
The best way to get all of the important contact information and other important facts about the debtor is the skip tracing technique. The process of skip tracing involves finding credit report information on the debtor, and playing private detective to put all of the pieces together. One of the obstacles a collector will run into is that most credit reporters won't let you retrieve 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 collect your money for you with with no out-of-pocket fees, and no fees if your funds aren't recovered. Unlike lawyers 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.
