A creditor has a right to demand that a debt be paid. If someone borrows money and then chooses not to pay that money back, a creditor can attempt to collect that debt using every legal measure possible. Just as people in debt have rights, people that are owed that debt have rights. In the beginning, a court is usually left out of the equation.
Collection agencies are often used by creditors in an attempt to collect a debt. Sometimes a creditor will choose to deal with the borrower directly. It’s up to the individual creditor as to what they need to do in order to collect the debt.
Secured Transactions are used before the loan is given out in order to encourage the repayment of loans. For example, before being given money by the creditor, the creditor may require a payment up front or be asked to give permission to take away property if the debt isn’t repaid. This encourages the debtor to repay the amount they borrowed. Courts are sometimes needed in order to make seizures of property possible. A creditor has a right to ask a court to help them collect a debt, though most of the time every other option must be exhausted before this measure is used. It’s preferable for debtors and creditors to keep the problem out of court so that court costs aren’t incurred and both parties are able to retain dignity.
Although rare, lawsuits are possible. When every other means has been used, it’s possible that a creditor will sue the debtor in another attempt to collect the debt. At this time the court is going to put a tremendous amount of pressure on the debtor to make them repay the debt. They might even be asked to pay more money for their debt than they originally owed.
Many times a settlement can be reached before courts come into action. A collection agency can help settle debt without having to send the matter to courts and most of the time this is the option that creditors opt for. The important thing to remember in all of this is that borrowers aren’t innocent victims. They borrowed money from the credit and as a result have a legal right to do what they can to recover the money they’ve borrowed. The law does restrict how they must behave during the collection process, but they have the right to attempt to collect a debt.
