Eviction Notice next steps

[Jan Upande]

Hello Smart People!

I evicted a tenant and got the Eviction judgement from the Judge. I waited for 12 days and have not heard that the ex-tenant has appealed it.

In terms of next steps, I was thinking of the following 3 steps:

1. Send the Eviction to the Credit bureaus to get this on the ex-tenant's credit. I was planning to go each of the three agency websites and ask for help on how to do it there. Question: Can anyone share their experience: Specifically what do these agencies need before they post it on his credit? 

2. Send this to a collection agency Question: What agencies do u recommend and any terms to keep in mind while I sign up with one?

3. Email this to the tenant and see if he wants to settle. Question: Is this a good idea? Any caveats you can share?

Your help is much appreciated...Thank you in advance!
