Collecting court judgements

[Vic Caldwell]

I was doing my end of year review and have noticed that I have collected a pretty large collection of eviction judgements over the past 4 years. (>$15K) At the time I just wrote off each one because I was just happy to get them off the books and chalked it up to a learning experience. However when I look at them all in total it is not an insignificant amount.  I wouldn't know the first thing about how to track them down much less how to collect.  Looking for advice. Are there collection companies that handle these types of thing? What do you do? Should I have pursued it immediately after the judgement was issued?  ANY advice/help will be greatly appreciated. - Vic

Find a collection agency.  I had a few judgements in the past and collected on a couple.  

Good luck!  Hope you get some.

I got to the point where I was happy to just assign/give away the judgements so someone else would take it over and track them down and make them pay.

Tim, 

Thanks for the reply. What % did the collection agency take?

@Vic Caldwell

They may take 25-50%
