Frequent Questions

1. Someone owes me money, but that person refuses to pay. What are my options?

Whether you own a small business, a large corporation, or you are an individual, your livelihood is at risk if you have debtors who will not, or cannot, pay. Thousands of businesses fail each year because they do not receive the revenue to which they are entitled. If you are facing financial harm, it is wise to consider all your debt-recovery options. The simplest option is collection letters and phone calls. While you must avoid harassment, frequent calls and letters are powerful tools. If you feel the debtor is unable to pay the full amount, consider offering a legally binding settlement for less than the initial amount. In more serious cases when a debtor refuses to pay, a lawsuit in small claims court offers a low-cost option to enlist the assistance of the court in collecting your debt.

2. Why use Jackson Smith rather than a debt collection agency?

State and federal laws limit the authority and actions of debt collection agencies. Debt collection agencies typically discount your debt down to pennies on the dollar or accept minimal payments.They also maintain a high volume of clientele to make profits. Our lawyers provide effective, individualized representation. We follow through and use our authority to pursue your debts. Our Ohio judgment collection attorneys provide comprehensive debt collection representation, including post-judgment actions. We will use post-judgment discovery questions or depositions to evaluate a debtor’s current and future financial situation.
