Collections
Have you been trying to collect a debt but have had no luck?
Are you owed money but don’t know how to get it? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you may need to consider hiring a collections attorney. Here are some of the reasons why you may need to hire a collections attorney.
The Debtor is Unresponsive
If you’ve been trying to collect a debt but the debtor has not been responding to your requests, it may be time to hire a collections attorney. An attorney can help by drafting a demand letter that will get the debtor’s attention and force them to respond.
The Debtor is Located in Another State
If the debtor is located in another state, it can be difficult to collect the debt on your own. A collections attorney can help by handling all of the paperwork and filings that are required in order to collect the debt from an out-of-state debtor.
The Debtor has Assets
If the debtor has money or other assets that are not exempt from being taken under Texas law, a collections attorney can help you file a lawsuit and obtain a court order that will allow you to access that money, garnish the debtor’s bank account or attach their property.
The Amount of Money Owed is Large
If the amount of money you are owed is large, it may be worth hiring a collections attorney in order to get the full amount that you are owed.
