Eighty Percent of Small Claims Cases and Civil Matters Dont Get Recovered
Small Claims Court » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Cases and Civil Matters Dont Get Recovered
This is true for the people of the United States:
- Somebody does you wrong
- You take them to court
- The judge or the magistrate decides to award you
- You never receive the money owed to you.
Although the civil system is structured to allow you to recover money, nobody said that it is easy. The court system allows access to simple information on filing wage garnishments, bank garnishments, liens, and other methods of getting back what is owed to you that the courts awarded you, however that information is too basic. So we are left with only a few options:
- Be defeated by your debtors (Never see your money again)
- Spend all of your time trying to learn how to get your money back yourself
- Hire an attorney and pay a retainer plus hundreds per hour fees
- Hire a debt collection service
Although collection agency service isn't hard to figure out once you learn the simple steps of using one, the process can be very easy and beneficial. You would think that once you were awarded judgment, the small claims court would make it easier for you to recover the funds that are owed to you.
Small Claims 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 to garnish the debtors wages, and you will get the same answer - 'we cannot offer legal advice'.
The easiest way to get all of the information about the debtor is a process called 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 hardest things a creditor will run into is that almost all credit reporting agencies won't let you pull 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 debt collection 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 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.
