Frequently Asked Questions

In an effort to help in understanding just what judgment recovery or judgment collection is, and a little about what we do, we have compiled the following list of frequently asked questions along with their pertinent answers. Hopefully, these questions and answers will not only assist in your understanding judgment collection, but will also give you “food for thought“ as well as provide you with valuable insight into judgments, judgment recovery, court involvement and the services of Genesis Judgment Recovery A.The court ordered judgment is a legal instrument dictating that the judgment debtor in fact owes the judgment creditor (you) a defined amount. It gives the judgment creditor a number of legal options to pursue, however, the jailing of deadbeats is not one of them. Unfortunately for the judgment creditor, it is not against the law to owe money, so you can't incarcerate your debtor. But fortunately, you would not want your debtor in jail anyway. It is hard to collect money from an inmate who is not working, making money, saving money and making purchases, all of which we can pursue confiscation to assist in paying his/her debt. A.No. Each year millions of dollars are never collected on judgments, because the courts cannot make the debtors pay. We strongly urge that you don't become one of the many judgment creditors who are holding judgments that have not and, more than likely will not be paid. Many courts will not and cannot advise you on something as simple as what the time limits are for your judgment recovery. Indeed, having the court collect your money or advise you on other legal, complex, yet effective judgment collection options that are available -- is totally out of the question. So again, the answer is no, the court will not get your money for you. A.No, we are not a collection agency. Collection agencies take action on claims of debt, by employing any number of differing tactics, including writing nasty letters and making calls to the debtor in an effort to get him/her to pay. We take action on judgments, claims that have already been adjudicated in a court of law. A.Once you come on board with us, we enter into an agreement that outlines the specifics and terms of the assignment of judgment. After which you legally assign the judgment to us making us the assignee of record or judgment creditor of record and giving us the power to aggressively pursue the debtor on your behalf. We then insure that the assignment is filed with the court and once that has taken place, we have “permissible cause” to legally and immediately put in motion all the necessary steps to enforce the judgment. A.Once we have “permissible cause”, we have a number of options, techniques and strategies available. Some of which can be: bank account seizure; liens on property; wage garnishment, income interception and more. Which strategy(ies) we employ will depend on the specific circumstances of the debtor, including his/her willingness to cooperate. However, it is now crunch-time and the time of stalling, stonewalling and being unresponsive has past. With our experience and extensive resources, sanctioned by your authorization, we now have enormous power and will take any legal action necessary for the successful collection of your money. A.Obviously, nothing from nothing leaves nothing and you can't take what's not there. However, our experience often tells us that debtors have assets that the average person would not even think were there. It is our experience and resources that enable us to identify, seek out, and locate those assets, which just as often are being intentionally hidden by the debtors. A.No, once we take you on as a client we absorb all the cost of the necessary expenses that are incurred in the enforcement of the judgment. We will subsequently petition the court for those expenses to be added to the original judgment so that the debtor ultimately pays and we don't become permanently burdened with the cost of enforcing the judgment. However, there is a financial risk involved, but we understand that and assume that risk from the outset. There is no financial risk to you. A.There is no way of telling how long it will take to get the results we desire. Each case is different and the time frames vary significantly. Factors that impact the length of time required to settle a case include, but are not limited to, how long it takes to positively locate the debtor and the length of time it takes to identify and locate assets. Knowing that we have money invested and our earnings are tied to getting the judgment collected, we are diligent about getting every case concluded in the shortest amount of time possible. A.Since we only get paid when we successfully collect on a judgment, we tenaciously pursue that end. But, there are just times when the debtor has no assets to seize or wages to garnish. Therefore, we cannot guarantee collection. We do however, assume the risk of advancing the fees, time and effort necessary to effect a collection, which is a guarantee that you won't lose anymore money, waste any more efforts, or squander any more time than you have already. A.Yes, there definitely is a time limit with regards to how old a debt can be and still be collectible. Each state has its own legislated statute of limitation and they vary from state to state. Again, whether or not you let us pursue your judgment debtor, we strongly urge you not to procrastinate and become a member of the 80% who will never collect one cent on their judgment.
