Obviously, the kind of people who have judgments against them are the same kind of people who will go to any length to avoid paying them. Collection agencies handle all sorts of debts. We specialize only in the satisfaction of unfulfilled judgments. In addition, a collection agency will typically charge an up-front fee as well as contingencies. I received a judgment several years ago.
Most judgments are valid for a period of ten years, and are renewable.
ALJ will calculate interest and associated costs and will build them into your settlement. As for bankruptcies, many bankruptcy orders do not include judicial settlements. ALJ will review your settlement at no charge to determine whether and how far you can pursue your claim. The actual percentage is based on the amount and age of the judgment, and the predicted difficulty of recovery. When compared to traditional recovery agencies such as collection agencies, this is an extremely competitive figure.
