And the judgment includes all court costs and filing fees but not your time or lost wages. You can get the forms on line and mail everything in.

When I started my business a guy told me, "I will spend $5000 to collect $200, nobody gets away without paying".
We handle it in-house- statement, statement with late charges,call,letter,small claims.

We only outsource if we -
get a judgement and
have trouble getting our money and
the money is worth it.

We did have a pit-bull work one client for us years ago. He was playing "asset asset who's got the asset" after we got a judgement. She worked his controller to the point that the guy went out on a stress-leave 'cause she scared him soo bad. She doesn't work cheap, let me know if justice is worth it.
