To effectively collect debt from someone, you can start by contacting the person directly to remind them of the debt and discuss a payment plan. If they are unresponsive, you can send a formal demand letter or hire a debt collection agency. Legal action, such as filing a lawsuit, may be necessary as a last resort. It's important to follow the laws and regulations governing debt collection practices.
