Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Small Claims Judgments Go Uncollected
Small Claims Court » Eighty Percent of Small Claims Court Cases and Small Claims Judgments Go Uncollected
This is most typical for most Americans:
- Some People does you wrong
- You go to small claims
- The court agrees in your favor
- You never receive any compensation.
Although the civil courts are structured to allow you to receive money owed to you, that doesn't mean that it isn't going to hard. The court system offers you simple information on filing wage garnishments, bank garnishments, liens, and other methods of recovering the money the courts awarded you, but that information is too basic. Therefore, we are left with only a few options:
- Be defeated by your debtors (Never collect the money owed to you)
- Spend all of your time trying to figure out how to recover your judgment yourself
- Call an attorney and pay a retainer plus hundreds per hour fees
- Hire a Collection Agency
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 you were awarded judgment, the small claims court would make it less of a hassle for you to collect the funds that are owed to you.
Small Claims Courts offers information packets to you explaining what your rights are as a debtor. 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 find a familiar answer - 'we cannot offer legal advice'.
The easiest way to get all of the important contact information and other important facts about the debtor is a process called skip tracing. The process of skip tracing involves pulling a credit report on the debtor, and being a private investigator to connect all of the dots in the case. One of the hardest things a creditor will run into is that almost all credit reporters won't let you retrieve 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 collection agency service, they will recover your money with with no out-of-pocket fees, and no fees if your funds aren't 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.
