Collections agency referral for Landlord/Tenant judgements in Oakland County, Michigan (Metro Detroit)?

[Paul J.]

Hi all,

Looking for a referral to a collection agency for Oakland County, MI.

I purchased an occupied Duplex and have a judgement against one of the tenants or non-pay. I am thinking at least one of the two of them on the lease are non-collectable, however half of my intention here is to make sure this gets reported to the credit bureaus and perhaps get a garnishment against their state tax returns. What are you doing and WHom are you calling when you leave eviction court with a money judgement? What is the out-of-pocket expense to start the process?



Thanks

Many landlords in my area have used this firm with success: http://www.mermed.com/.

I have not used them so I can't personally say how well they do, but it's at least a start for you. It wouldn't hurt to give them a call.
