Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Judgments Are Not Pursued
Small Claims » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Judgments Are Not Pursued
This is most typical for so many Americans:
- Someone does you wrong
- You take them to small claims
- The court agrees to award you
- You don't get any money that is owed to you.
Although the civil system is set up to allow you to receive money owed to you, nothing in the manual says that it isn't going to hard. Small claims court offers you fairly generic information on filing wage garnishments, bank garnishments, liens, and other methods of recovering the money the courts awarded you, but the information given to you will not teach you everything you need to know. Therefore, we are left with only a few options:
- Let the debtor win (Never collect the money owed to you)
- Spend several weeks trying to figure out how to get your money back yourself
- Hire an attorney and spend your hard earned money on a retainer plus hundreds per hour fees
- Hire a Collection Agency
Although debt collection service isn't very difficult to learn once you learn how to do it, the process will save you time and money in the long run. You would think 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 brochures to you explaining debtors rights. Try to ask one of the court clerks how you find the debtors banking information or the process of garnishing the wages of the debtor, 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 process of skip tracing. The process of skip tracing 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 collector will run into is that most 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 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 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.
