Hartsoe & Morgan uses many different methods to collect debts, from Skip Tracing to litigation where necessary. Skip Tracing is a legal means of tracking debtors, and can determine current contact information, and in some cases can determine financial viability of a debtor. Skip Tracing is one of the primary tools used by a collections attorney, and is usually the first step in locating an absent debtor in order to start the collections process. Another means is through wage garnishment, which can be requested from Virginia courts. Additionally, creditors can successfully request that the court assign money due to a debtor from a third party directly from the third party to the creditor. An experienced collections attorney can help business clients determine which means will work best to collect a debt in a given scenario.
