Eighty Percent of Small Claims and Civil Matters Dont Get Recovered
Small Claims » Eighty Percent of Small Claims and Civil Matters Dont Get Recovered
This is most typical for most Americans:
- Someone does you wrong
- You take them to small claims
- The court makes a decision in your favor
- You don't get the money owed to you.
Although the civil courts are structured to allow you to receive money owed to you, that doesn't mean that it is easy. The court system offers you fairly generic information on filing wage garnishments, liens, bank garnishments and other methods of getting back what is owed to you that you were awarded in court, but the information given to you will not teach you everything you need to know. So that leaves us with only a few choices:
- Call it a loss (Never collect the money owed to you)
- Wasting your time trying to figure out how to get your money back yourself
- Call an attorney and pay a retainer plus hourly fees of hundreds per hour
- Hire a Collection Agency
Although judgment recovery service isn't hard to figure out once you know how to use one, the process can be very easy and beneficial. You would suggest that once you were awarded judgment, the small claims court would make it easier for you to collect the funds that you are owed.
The courts offers pamphlets to you explaining what your rights are as a debtor. Try to find out information from one of the court clerks how you go about finding the debtors bank account information or the process to garnish the debtors wages, and you will get the same answer - 'we do not give legal advice'.
The easiest and fastest 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 playing private detective to put all of the pieces together. One of the hardest things a creditor will run into is that almost all credit reporting agencies will not allow you to 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 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.
