Have you ever taken someone to court successfully?

Have you ever used a collections agency?

(Not challenging you; you just said you've collected lots of debts, and I'm interested in your experience. I've been a witness to a couple incidents, but I don't have a lot of experience.)



> Have you ever taken someone to court successfully?

Yes, I've been to small claims court 15-20 times. I won every time.

Folks who force you to go to SCC in the first place tend to be flakes, therefore they tend to not even show up. 75% of the cases that I've had, and that I've witnessed, in SCC, only have 1 party show, and that party wins by default (at least in MA).

> Have you ever used a collections agency?

Not yet. I plan to, though.


Did you have the problem the other commenter in MA suggested, where it was hard to collect the judgement after winning the case?


I've collected maybe 90% of the time.
