Collection Agency Process

[Gary Fare]

I recently purchased a 4 unit a few months back and got stuck with one set of poor tenants that I evicted.  Their rent due was in excess of the security and although I do not have any expectation of collecting, I would like to at least have their debt reported on their credit reports. Does anybody have any additional information/referrals on services they have utilized to begin the process?  Thanks I would appreciate it.

I just won my first eviction case in court (done several "evictions", just never had a tenant take it all the way to court...  

We now have a court ruling or judgement against her on paper for over $6000. -Not that we will ever see a penny of it, but I would still LOVE to have some credit agency call and/or harass her forever.... just because she did so many personal attacks and emotionally hurt my family, Besides doing thousands of dollars of damage to our property In addition to NOT paying her rent...  I now know so much more, and for that, I am grateful to her, But I understand where you're coming from...
