How much do you know about civil court proceedings and judgments? If you are like most people, your knowledge is limited. You might not realize that a judgment is a court decision, for example.

Civil court can be a mysterious entity to people who never spend any time there. And because most of us have never been involved in civil litigation, it is easy to assume that what happens in civil court is nearly identical to what happens in criminal court. But this is not the case. Take the default judgment. Civil courts enter default judgments all the time. These never happen in criminal court. The reason for the discrepancy is the judgment itself. In civil court, a judgment is a decision rendered in favor of one party or the other. The judgment determines who prevails in a given case. In criminal court, there are no judgments; there ar...

Every kind of competition involves players employing their individual strategies to win. Apply this concept to debt collection, and particularly judgments, and you discover something interesting: some strategies are more successful than others. Our big thing is knowing how and where to look for debtors and their assets. Some judgment debtors treat collection as more of a sport than a legal obligation to pay on their part.

We do everything in our power to make sure we don't l...
