Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Matters Are Not Pursued
Small Claims » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Civil Matters Are Not Pursued
This is true for most Americans:
- Some People did you wrong
- You take them to court
- The court makes a decision in your favor
- You never receive the money owed to you.
Although the civil system is structured to allow you to receive money owed to you, nobody said that it is easy. Small claims court allows access to simple information on filing any garnishment of wages, bank garnishments, liens, and other methods of getting back what is owed to you that you were awarded in court, however the information given to you will not teach you everything you need to know. Therefore, we are left with only a few options:
- Be defeated by your debtors (Never collect the money owed to you)
- Spend several weeks trying to learn how to get your money back yourself
- Talk to an attorney and spend your hard earned money on a retainer plus hundreds per hour fees
- Use a judgment recovery service
Although collection agency service isn't very difficult to learn once you learn how to do it, the process can be worth the effort. You would suggest that once you were awarded judgment, the small claims court would make it less of a hassle for you to collect the funds that you are owed.
The courts offers information packets to you explaining debtors rights. Try to find out information from one of the court clerks how you go about finding the debtors bank account information or the process of garnishing the wages of the debtor, and you will find a familiar answer - 'we do not give legal advice'.
The easiest way to get all of the information about the debtor is the skip tracing technique. The process of skip tracing involves finding credit report information on the debtor, and playing private detective to put all of the pieces together. One of the obstacles a debt collector will face is that almost all credit reporting agencies won't let you 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 collection agency service, they will recover your money 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 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.
