Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Judgments Are Not Pursued
Small Claims Court » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Judgments Are Not Pursued
This is most typical for the people of the United States:
- Someone does you wrong
- You take them to small claims
- The court makes a decision to award you
- You never receive any compensation.
Although the civil courts are set up to allow you to get your money back in court, nobody said that it is easy. Small claims court offers you simple information on filing wage garnishments, bank garnishments, liens, and other ways of recovering the money you were awarded in court, but that information will not teach you everything you need to know. Therefore, that leaves us with only a few choices:
- Be defeated by your debtors (Never recover your money)
- Spend all of your time trying to learn how to recover your judgment yourself
- Hire an attorney and spend your hard earned money on a retainer plus hundreds per hour fees
- Hire a debt collection service
Although debt collection service isn't hard to figure out once you learn how to do it, the process can be worth the effort. You would suggest that judgment is awarded to you, they would make it less of a hassle for you to collect the funds that you are owed.
Civil Courts offers brochures 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 find a familiar answer - 'we cannot offer legal advice'.
The fastest 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 being a private investigator to connect all of the dots in the case. One of the obstacles a debt collector will run into is that most credit reporters will not allow you to 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 absolutely no fees unless the money owed to you is recovered. Unlike lawyers 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.
