In a lawsuit, there are two parties involved: the plaintiff, which is the person(s) or entity bringing the case to court, and the defendant, which is the person(s) or entity who stands accused. Typically, the plaintiff brings charges against the defendant in an attempt to collect damages. Financial, property, and emotional damages are assessed and the plaintiff sues for that amount.
If the defendant wins the case, the charges are dropped, and no money is owed. If the defendant loses the case, he or she is sometimes ordered to pay the plaintiff a particular amount of money. In some cases, the full amount as stipulated by the plaintiff, including court costs and various fees, is required.
At this point, the case is out of the judge’s hands, and the plaintiff becomes the judgment creditor. The defendant ordered to pay is known as the judgment debtor. The judge has determined that the plaintiff is due monetary compensation, but the responsibility of collecting on that judgment becomes that of the judgment creditor. The judgment is made official when the judge files two forms. The first, called the Entry of Judgment, will be filed with the case in the court where the judgment took place. The second, the Notice of Entry of Judgment, is a detailed account of the judgment, including the judge’s official decision and specifics about who owes whom what.
The Notice of Entry of Judgment is mailed to all parties involved in the case. Generally, the debtor has thirty days after the judgment to pay the creditor, attempt to have the judgment thrown out, or file an appeal with a higher court. If the debtor does not dispute the judgment, and the payment is made, the case is closed and the parties go their separate ways. More often than not, the payment is not made, and an appeal is not filed. The debtor is now delinquent and the creditor must find a way to recover the money. Eighty percent of small claims cases end in this way.
A fee of 50% of the judgment is standard. You get 50% of the judgment for every assignment, plus charge for accured interest + all expenses |
When a debtor ignores a judgment, the creditor must take steps to claim the money. So what can judgment creditors do?
The court system offers no recourse; once the judge makes a decision, the court has no further responsibility. Some creditors turn to attorneys, but very few lawyers are in the business of judgment recovery. Those who are willing to work on small claims recovery cases will only attempt cases worth a certain dollar amount and require retainer fees to be paid up front. Occasionally, a creditor has enough knowledge to submit a writ of execution and attempt to seize assets. But locating a debtor’s assets is almost impossible! Obviously, this leaves very few options for the judgment creditor.
The judgment debtor counts on the creditor having difficulty. Debtors know that there is very little a creditor can do on his or her own to claim that money. They know that, in time, creditors will give up and forget. That is, unless they have a judgment recovery professional on their side.
When a creditor faces this unfortunate situation, a recovery specialist is the perfect solution. As a judgment holder, the creditor has a right to assign the enforcement of the judgment to someone else. Here’s how the process works for the recovery specialist (that’s you!): when you identify a case, you send a letter to the creditor explaining your
service. You will offer to purchase the judgment outright, or will accept a percentage of the judgment once recovered.
You will discuss the details of the case, come to an agreement, and then get to work recovering the money. Imagine the potential opportunities. After a few cases, your services will have gained a solid reputation. Individuals in the community who have given up on their judgments will come to you for help.
In most states, judgments are good for ten years. If a deadline appoaches, a renewal can will extend the period of time that the judgement will be valid and recoverable |
Here’s a general process overview for a typical judgment recovery case:
1. The judgment creditor is contacted via letter.
2. The judgment creditor contacts your service, and you negotiate a contingency fee and plan to send out written contracts for signing.
3. Once contracts are returned, you file an Acknowledgement of Assignment of Judgment with the court where the judgment took place.
4. As the new judgment holder, you begin to locate the debtor and identify assets.
5. Decide which action is necessary to recover the judgment. For example, bank levy, garnishment, etc.
6. Research your procedure to make sure you comply with the court’s rules.
7. File necessary forms to notify court of judgment enforcement and increase the judgment amount to cover your fees.
8. Direct a levying officer to seize assets.
9. The levying officer will turn over the levied assets to you.
10. After deducting any incurred fees, you take your agreed upon percentage of the judgment and give the rest to the creditor. (Enforcement costs will eventually be paid by the debtor, after a court petition.)
11. Once the judgment is paid in full, a Notice of Satisfaction of Judgment is filed with the court.
The Freedom of Information Act gives every citizen the right to view public records. After some experience, you will develop a standard procedure. Your routine will consist of several effective skip-tracing methods, and will be easily adjusted to fit the circumstances of any particular case. |
Order for Examination And/Or Interrogatories
This document is used to secure an interview with the debtor. An Order for Examination allows you to examine the debtor in person. An Order for Interrogatories is used to interrogate the debtor by mail. You should use this option if the debtor lives too far away (usually 100 miles or more) to be compelled to come to court. The debtor will fill out the form under oath.
File the examination request form with the court clerk, who will schedule a hearing for you and the debtor. The debtor will be served with a notice. Should the debtor choose not to attend, he or she will be held in contempt of court, and a Bench Warrant or Body Attachment may be issued for his or her arrest.
The hearing will give you an opportunity to ask the debtor questions about his or her employment, bank accounts, real and personal property, third parties, and other assets. The debtor will have to answer under oath, and you can instruct the debtor via a Turn Over Order to give you any money on his or her person at the time. The judge is there as an impartial observer, but the bailiff will help you obtain the money.
You can also examine the debtor’s spouse, employer, family members, etc.
Here is a list of the data you should collect during the hearing or in your Order of Interrogatories:
