Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Judgments Dont Get Recovered
Small Claims » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Judgments Dont Get Recovered
This is most typical for most Americans:
- Somebody who doesn't pay
- You go to small claims
- The judge or the magistrate makes a decision to award you
- You don't get any compensation.
Although the civil system is structured to allow you to get your money back in court, that doesn't mean that it isn't going to hard. Civil court offers you basic information on filing wage garnishments, bank garnishments, liens, and other ways of getting back what is owed to you that the courts awarded you, but that information is too generic. Therefore, we are left with only a few options:
- Let the debtor win (Never recover your money)
- Wasting your time trying to learn how to collect your money yourself
- Call 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 can be very easy and beneficial. You would suggest that once you were awarded judgment, the small claims court would make it easier for you to collect the funds that you are owed.
The courts offers pamphlets to you explaining what your rights are as a debtor. Try to ask one of the court clerks how you find the debtors banking information or the process for garnishing the debtors wages, and you will get the same answer - 'we cannot offer legal advice'.
The fastest way to find the debtor's 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 put all of the pieces together. One of the hardest things a creditor will face is that almost all credit reporting agencies won't let you pull a credit report on somebody if you don't 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 no fees out of your pocket, 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 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.
