Bounced Checks

In the State of New Jersey, as a creditor, you only have so much time to act on delinquent credit card debt. Your Montville debt collection attorney can advise you and assist in collection. There are several different courses of action that you may pursue, including:
- Demand for immediate payment
- Lawsuit in the appropriate court of law
- Other litigation, when appropriate
- Settlement negotiations
- Enforcement of collection methods post-judgment
The enforcement of post-judgement actions can include several remedies. Wage garnishment, under certain circumstances, allows a creditor to collect directly from a debtor’s wages. You can record certain types of liens against a debtor’s property. Finally, if the debt is secured by collateral, you can initiate repossession (i.e. replevins).
Foreign Judgments
The name can be a little confusing, but a foreign judgment is any out-of-state judgement enforced against a debtor who owns assets in New Jersey. For example, if you are a creditor in New York State, but your debtor has defaulted in New Jersey, this may involve an out-of-state judgment. A Montville debt collection attorney can guide you in your enforcement rights in New Jersey.
