If Somebody Owes You Money
If you are owed money and have
not received any payment over a reasonable period of time, there are
certain steps you can take to collect, even before going to the expense of
hiring a collection agency or lawyer.
|
|
While making these moves,
you can collect evidence in case it becomes necessary to take the
matter to court.
CALL THE DEBTOR
This method, handled properly, can have surprisingly successful
results. For best results, have another person of the line to
witness the conversation. In case the debtor denies the call, you
have a witness who can testify otherwise. |
WRITE THE DEBTOR
Write a letter that confirms and reviews all the pertinent points of the
telephone conversation. The goal is to make your letter clear enough to
make it stick in court.
IF THE DEBTOR IS A BUSINESS
File a complaint with the BBB or the trade organization in which the
debtor is a member. Make sure you stick to the facts in order to avoid
being sued for libel.
