Q.   I thought my judgment was an order for the debtor to pay? Isn’t the debtor breaking the law by not paying me?  

A.  Unfortunately it is not against the law to owe money. The court awarded you a judgment. They do not force the other party to pay you. This is why 80% of all judgments go unpaid.

A.  No, we are not a collection agency. Collection agencies process debts in bulk, harass clients, and arrange payment plans. We are different. We only handle judgments. We seek payment in full. We actually "take assignment" on your judgment. Then we have the authority to pull credit reports, conduct thorough asset investigations, banks locates, and more. Each judgment is treated individually and expertly. We do not hesitate to put out money for enforcement procedures. We will aggressively pursue recovering your funds. And we have resources that collection agencies do not have.

 Q.     Can I use an attorney?

A.  Yes you can. However an attorney will typically charge an hourly fee of $200 - $275 per hour. Also, while many attorneys are skilled at getting judgments, most are not familiar with effective post-judgment strategies. Most attorneys also require a minimum judgment of $50,000 to justify their time and efforts.

Q.      How much will it cost me?

A.   It costs you nothing. We advance all costs. If there are additional court expenses, we petition the court to add these to the judgment. If we collect, we get paid directly from the recovered funds from the debtor. If we don't collect, it still costs you nothing.

Q.        Can you guarantee that you'll collect the judgment?

A.  We cannot make that guarantee, except that we will make an aggressive effort. We use every strategy to collect, including pursuing assets of spouses, garnishments and liens. If your debtor files for Bankruptcy, or has a protective order there may not be anything to collect. Every judgment is unique and we will do our best to recover your judgment.

A.   No. Once a judgment is made in the court of law we are not required to notify the debtor. This allows us to locate and seize their assets before they “skip” and are unable to be located.

A.   We enforce full privacy at all times and do not disclose judgment information.

A.   Compliance: DSG conforms fully with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

A.  Contact us and we will conduct a confidential no-cost assessment of your judgment or search request. We will then contact you with the results, and discuss our strategies and next steps.
