Collecting from deadbeat customers

This is a topic that unfortunately IVe had to deal with plenty of times over the years. Different states have different laws as far as what you can do in attempting to collect a debt so this may not even be an option for you. This doesnt always work but it sure seems to get things moving along much faster in most cases. If the $ is owed by a commercial account when I file with the court I also file letters of attachment/lien on any and all corporate checking/banking accounts used by the company. If its a residential customer I file a "general property lien" which would cover not only dwellings but any and all other personal property ie boats, cars, etc, etc. People dont want liens on property because it totally screws their credit rating and also requires them to pay off the debt in order to sell any of the said property. It for sure hits them like a ton of bricks and almost always gets things resolved. Businesses want no part of their accounts being attached because it can end up pulling money unexpectedly out of any of their accounts leaving them bouncing checks to suppliers, vendors, and yes even payroll checks. These are things I wish I never had to resort to but somestimes Ive been left with no choice.
