Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Matters Dont Get Recovered
Small Claims Court » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Matters Dont Get Recovered
This is such a familiar story for most Americans:
- Some People who doesn't pay
- You send them to civil court
- The judge agrees to award you
- You never see any compensation.
Although the small claim court is structured to allow you to receive money owed to you, nobody said that it isn't going to hard. Civil court offers you simple information on filing any garnishment of wages, bank garnishments, liens, and other ways of recovering the money the courts awarded you, but the information given to you will not teach you everything you need to know. Therefore, that leaves us with only a few options:
- Be defeated by your debtors (Never recover your money)
- Spend all of your time trying to learn 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 very difficult to learn 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 small claims court would make it less complicated 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 find out information from 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 find a familiar answer - 'we cannot offer legal advice'.
The best way to get all of the important contact information and other important facts about the debtor is the process of skip tracing. Part of this process involves finding credit report information on the debtor, and playing private detective to connect all of the dots in the case. One of the hardest things a debt collector will face is that most credit reporting agencies will not allow you to 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 debt collection service, they will recover your money with with no out-of-pocket fees, and no fees if your funds aren't recovered. Unlike attorneys 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.
