Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Small Claims Judgments Are Not Pursued
Small Claims Court » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Small Claims Judgments Are Not Pursued
This is such a familiar story for most Americans:
- Some People did you wrong
- You send them to civil court
- The judge or the magistrate decides to award you
- You don't get any compensation.
Although the civil system is set up to allow you to receive money owed to you, that doesn't mean that it isn't going to hard. Civil court offers you basic 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, however that information is too basic. Therefore, that leaves us with only a few choices:
- Call it a loss (Never collect the money owed to you)
- Wasting your time trying to figure out how to recover your judgment yourself
- Call an attorney and pay a retainer plus hundreds per hour fees
- Use a judgment recovery service
Although judgment recovery 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 judgment is awarded to you, the court system would make it less complicated for you to recover the funds that you are owed.
Small Claims Courts offers pamphlets to you explaining what your rights are as a debtor. 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 find a familiar answer - 'we do not give legal advice'.
The easiest and fastest way to get all of the information about the debtor is the process of 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 collector will run into is that almost all credit reporters will not allow you to 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 debt collection service, they will collect your money for you with no fees out of your pocket, and absolutely no fees unless the money owed to you is 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.
