How to Successfully Seize Your Debtor’s Assets

If you know about your debtor’s assets, like inventory, equipment, vehicles, watercraft, or other personal or real property, you can ask the court to issue a writ to attach property, sometimes referred to as a writ of execution or a writ to seize property.

We can help you form a successful debt collection strategy for seizing your debtor’s property. Most states require that you use writs to attach property against personal property first and real property second. Certain types of property are exempt from execution. For example, a home owned by both a husband and wife would typically prevent attachment unless your judgment is against both of them.

How Does the Process Work for Seizing Assets?

 You complete a writ to seize property, the court formally issues the writ, and the writ is then given to a court officer or deputy sheriff. After that, the following happens:

• The officer contacts the debtor to see if the judgment can be paid without the need of a levy on assets, or the officer levies on assets to impress upon the debtor the importance of paying the judgment.

• If the officer levies on the debtor’s assets, the assets are transported to another location for safe storage for a minimum of ten days. If many items are seized, such as the inventory of a business, the officer must inventory them and organize them for sale.

• During the time the items are in storage, the debtor may redeem the assets by paying the full judgement, plus expenses and accumulated interest.

• If the debtor fails to redeem the assets, the levied items are sold at a public auction. 

• The levied items are sold, and the officer pays all costs and expenses associated with the proceeds from the sale.

Debtor Refusing to Pay? Consider Your Post Judgment Options

Have a judgment, but not sure what to do next?

Is your debtor still refusing to pay?

Sometimes a debtor will pretend to negotiate with you to stall for time. If you enter into an agreement that involves payment over time, what happens if your debtor doesn’t make the payments? We suggest that you enter your payment plan in the form of an order with the court and include an acceleration clause. If a payment is late, then the entire remaining balance becomes due.

Knowing the Basics for Turning a Judgment into Cash

Over the course of collecting accounts, you find debtors who pay the moment they receive your first letter or phone call, as well as debtors who won’t pay and who constantly test you to see how hard you’ll pursue the collection. If you have to get a judgment, you already know you’re not dealing with an easy case. If your debtor can afford to pay you but chooses not to pay, he or she will probably avoid paying until no alternative remains.

4 Advantages Gained After Judgments

2. The statute of limitations is less of an issue. 
3. The judgment accumulates interest at your state’s legal rate of interest. 
4. Your judgment is a legally enforceable court order.

Statute of Limitations Determined by Industry

The UCC isn’t the only legal code that includes a statute of limitations; time limits can vary by industry. For example, federal law requires that claims for charges or refunds of overcharges in the freight industry must be brought within 18 months of the date the claim accrues (normally the date of shipment). Be sure you understand the laws that apply to your industry, even if you need to talk to an attorney.
