Judgment Enforcement – The Step-by-Step Course

Again—Please Don’t do this!

Every Judgment Enforcer that I know of made the same mistake when starting their
business. They were eager and excited, and as a result accepted a lot of judgments that
weren’t doable
I don’t want this to happen to you. The last thing you want is a judgment that isn’t
enforceable. It sits on your desk. It takes up space. Periodically you’ll spend some time and
a little bit of money checking up on the JD. And every so often the original creditor will

call you to ask how it’s going, or why you aren’t working harder. You don’t need that. And
if you have 15 or 500 judgments like that just sitting on your desk, you certainly don’t
need that.

Again (yes, I’m a broken record), what you need are judgments that are doable. You
want to know that this business is profitable.

So, please trust me on this. If there is one thing that would have increased my profits
in the first year and decreased my headaches and frustrations (Ugh!), it is
investigating JD’s and screening judgments carefully before I took them.

For example, today I get calls off my website all the time. And, while I have the creditor
on the phone, I run my databases and check out the JD to see if he has assets.

I may find that he is broke, filed bankruptcy, is in jail, moved to Tahiti, or already has
100 judgments and liens against him totaling over a million dollars. All of those actually
happened to me. Did I take those judgments? Not on our life. I apologetically said “no” to
the creditor, commiserated, and moved on.
In other instances, with a creditor on the phone, I found out that the JD had a second
home, or where he was working or had a business. Now I’m getting somewhere.

Despite my advice, many people still don’t screen their judgments well. Sometimes they
get excited because it’s a large judgment, $150,000 or more, and they see $$$ signs in their

eyes. And, they later wish they hadn’t taken the judgment. Maybe it’s human nature. I
don’t know.

NEXT: Setting up your office the right way, and finding those good judgments!
