DEBT RECOVERY PROCEDURE

No two situations are the same, each account is evaluated individually to determine the best course of action to recovering your money. Pursuing debtors can prove to be time consuming, difficult, and costly. Difference in laws, procedures, limitation period, and timescale can all add to the pain of the experience. CCRS provides a liaison service for creditors before a judgment is rendered. CCRS also pursues defendants after a judgment has been granted by the court.

  • A background and asset search will be done against the defendant prior to the commencement of any decisions on how to recover the debt. Some of what that search will include is an official company search, individual address search, credit search, asset search, professional licenses and employment search, and if defendant has a spouse the same search will be completed on the spouse as well. The information gathered from the searches will be used to build the structure for the recovery process.
  • The next course of action is to issue a formal letter of demand and to serve the final statement to the debtor.
  • CCRS will exhaust all options in attempting to contact the defendant and attempt to negotiate their obligation before recommending legal action.
  • CCRS will give the debtor an opportunity to negotiate a resolution to their obligation in a voluntary manner. CCRS will negotiate the amount and method of settlement on behalf of the creditor with the creditor’s directive.
  • If CCRS cannot recover the debt on a voluntary manner than legal action will be recommended if the defendant meets the criteria for a lawsuit.
  • Choice of procedure:
      a) Small Claims ($5,000 or below)
      b) California Civil Court
