I am happy to say that my collection rate over the years has been good.
I've only not collected one group of fees back in '94 for a little over a $1,000. Obtained the judgment in '96. It's in my nest-egg drawer earning 6%. Forgot about it for several years.
Been too busy to bother, but I have to serve it for collection within 10 years or go back and do 'whatever' to keep it alive.
I know where the deadbeater lives (out of state) and have obtained all the interstate documents to serve it. Do you think he'll be surprised? Hope so. I want him to think I forgot.
Just when prosperity is rife, his credit report shows this little, red-blinking light from this 'bad-***' appraiser in Minnesota who is so wimpy he had to hire the big-bad sheriff to collect his money. ["He's not like a real man."]
Well,.. Sir, I didn't pay the sheriff to do the collection -- You did!
