Rent debt collectors
Hi. Has anyone used a rent debt collector before? Any recommendations?

Yes, our property managers will send our judgements to collectors but the chances of getting paid is very, very slim; especially in C class and forget about it in D class.
If you get the judgement and garnish their wages; they will just get another job. Recently however; it came to the attention of our collectors that an evicted tenant of ours from 2-3 years back just purchased a home. We have since placed a lien on their home.
I still feel the goal of an eviction is to get someone out; if you get the judgement, send it off to collections, who knows. Maybe you have inadvertently just financed the home down payment for one of your previous tenants (just like me).
