Why Should You Hire a Debt Collection Law Firm?
When someone refuses to pay what they owe, you might wonder if it’s worth it to keep pursuing the past-due payment. The answer is typically yes, since you deserve to be paid for your time and talent, and not collecting payment from clients can eventually put you out of business.
However, this doesn’t mean you should pursue bad debts on your own. You’re likely too busy for this and are not up-to-date on creditors’ rights, so you don’t have access to the collection tactics that work. This is why you should outsource this task to a professional with knowledge of the Bankruptcy Code, business law, and other details that help collect debts.
Hiring a collection agency for this job might sound appealing since it means you won’t have to collect the debts on your own. While collection agencies know the creditors’ rights and are dedicated to pursuing past-due debt for clients, it’s helpful to know that law firms tend to get better results because they have more legal options to persuade clients to pay.
For example, attorneys can use the legal system to locate important information about the debtor and eventually garnish their wages after a judgment. This can be more effective than collection agencies calling them can. In fact, simply hiring a lawyer to send a letter to the debtor can get their attention faster than a phone call from a collection agency, since people often ignore those calls but become concerned when a lawyer contacts them. So, if you want to collect the money you’re owed as soon as possible, contact us to learn how we can assist you.
What Can You Expect from the Debt Collection Process
If you’re worried about embarking on a long legal battle to get the money you deserve, rest assured that most cases do not end in a trial. Just as with other types of legal cases, the typical goal of collection tactics is to settle out of court, as the threat of going to trial persuades most debtors to finally pay.
This means the collection process usually starts with your lawyer writing a demand letter advising the debtor to pay the amount they owe by a specific deadline. They might outline options to make paying the debt easier, such as payment plans or the possibility of negotiating a lower amount for faster payment.
If the debtor does not respond to the legal letter or refuses to pay, your attorney can take further steps. This might involve filing a lawsuit to get a judgment against them. If they still refuse to pay, skilled attorneys can seize their assets, place liens on their property, and use other tactics to collect the money. If you’re interested in learning how we can use our knowledge of creditors’ rights to get the money you deserve from commercial entities and individuals alike, call our Virginia law firm today.
