Eighty Percent of Small Claims Cases and Civil Matters Go Uncollected
Small Claims » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Cases and Civil Matters Go Uncollected
This is most typical for the people of the United States:
- Someone does you wrong
- You go to small claims court
- The judge makes a decision in your favor
- You don't get any money that is owed to you.
Although the civil system is structured to allow you to recover money, nothing in the manual says that it isn't going to hard. The court system allows access to simple information on filing wage garnishments, bank garnishments, liens, and other methods of recovering the money the courts awarded you, however the information given to you is too generic. Therefore, that leaves us with only a few options:
- Call it a loss (Never see your money again)
- Wasting your time trying to learn how to get your money back yourself
- Call an attorney and spend your hard earned money on a retainer plus hundreds per hour fees
- Hire a debt collection service
Although collection agency service isn't hard to figure out once you know how to use one, the process can be very easy and beneficial. You would think that once the court awards you the judgment, the small claims court would make it less of a hassle for you to collect the funds that you are owed.
Small Claims Courts offers information packets 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 for garnishing the debtors wages, and you will find a familiar answer - 'we cannot offer legal advice'.
The easiest way to find the debtor's information about the debtor is the process of skip tracing. Part of this process involves pulling a credit report on the debtor, and being a private investigator to put all of the pieces together. One of the obstacles a creditor will face is that almost all credit reporters won't let you pull 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 collection agency 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 attorneys who slap you with per hour fees, 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.
