Our Services
Our 7-Step Collection Process
Final Letter of Demand:
- We issue a formal letter to the debtor, clearly stating the amount owed and the due date for payment.
- This letter outlines the consequences of non-payment, providing a final opportunity for the debtor to settle the debt without further legal action.
Prepare/Issue Summons:
- If the demand is not met, we prepare a summons, detailing the claim and the amount owed.
- The summons is then filed with the court, formally initiating legal proceedings against the debtor.
Service of Summons by Sheriff:
- The summons is served to the debtor by a sheriff, ensuring they receive proper legal notice of the claim.
- This step confirms the debtor is aware of the legal action and their obligation to respond.
Litigation/Settlement Discussions:
- We engage in litigation or initiate settlement discussions with the debtor.
- Our goal is to negotiate a resolution that avoids a lengthy court process, seeking an agreement that satisfies both parties.
Court Hearing:
- If a settlement is not reached, the case proceeds to a court hearing.
- This may involve a trial where evidence is presented, or a default judgment if the debtor fails to respond or appear in court.
Settlement/Acknowledgment of Debt:
- We work towards securing a settlement or an acknowledgment of debt from the debtor.
- This may involve negotiating payment terms or agreeing on a payment plan that ensures the debt is repaid in a manner acceptable to both parties.
Execution Steps:
- If necessary, we proceed with execution steps to enforce the judgment.
- This can include garnishing wages, seizing assets, or other legal measures to recover the debt.
