What Can You Prove in Court?

Do you have outstanding debts owed to you?

Have you considered hiring a collection service in Michigan?

Do you know what will be required of you if your case goes to court?

Many businesses ask these questions when tracking down unpaid debts. The good news is that many debt collection cases that go before a judge can be resolved quickly, especially when handled by expert lawyers. Sometimes, however, a debtor will dispute a claim, and it’s important to be prepared if this happens. Having appropriate documentation is essential to resolving debt collection cases in your favor.

You may be thinking: “If the majority of debt collection cases don’t go to trial, why do I need to be worried?” But times are changing fast. Jack Gordon of WebRecon reports that consumer debt litigation is up 18.1% from last year, and that this is part of a steady trend. Some debts are sold to debt collection firms, and may change hands several more times before they go to court. Because of this, some claims are filed without enough proof of debt, and some lawyers may bank on this to defend debtors. When you hire collection services in Michigan, you should be ready with specific documentation that proves you own the debt, how much is actually owed, and how much interest may have accrued.
