How Successful Have We Been At Helping Others?
As you peruse our website, you will read actual comments by clients we have helped to enforce and collect their own judgments.

California Court Collections has retrieved hundreds of thousands of dollars for many clients and we would like to help you.
We have one of the most powerful, aggressive and sophisticated methods of tracking a debtor's assets and collecting the money that is owed. We believe that with relentless and aggressive legal tactics, in many cases, a judgment can be collected.

Why Use California Court Collections?
Our experience has been that the longer you have had a judgment, the longer it can take to collect it. Enforcement of your judgment is imperative and so is the timing of collection in obtaining the money that is rightfully owed to you. The longer you wait, the more a defendant can move around and make things harder to locate.
That being said, California Court Collections has privileged information that is not available to members of the public. Collecting court judgments is all we do and nothing else. We strongly believe in doing one thing and being the best at it. You may have figured out that a judgment is just a piece of paper, and getting the money that is owed to you is often more difficult than getting the judgment in the first place. Judgment remedies can be complicated and they must be precisely executed. It seems like the statutes are written for the benefit of the judgment debtor and not the winning party. It is a sad fact that most judgments go unpaid. In fact, 80% of most court judgments go unpaid. This is where California Court Collections can help you and not let the judgment debtor walk away with your money again.

How long do your services take?
​
Each service has the processing time posted with the description of the service. We have attempted to make our website as user-friendly as possible to make your experience easier.
Do your services have a collection guarantee?
Though we have hundreds of thousands of cases that have been collected based on the information we have provided, we are not in control of a defendant/debtor's situation, financial or otherwise. Our services allow you the ability to enforce your judgment by locating information and applying pressure to a debtor instead of just having a worthless piece of paper. With persistence and diligence through our services, we have seen many cases collected, but the true success of an enforcement method depends upon the debtor and their financial status. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the collection of any case.
Is there an expiration date to collect my judgment?
In California, judgments are good for ten years and after that time period, they expire. However, a California judgment can be renewed to extend the expiration date. Every State's guidelines are different. Unfortunately, some plaintiffs have unknowingly allowed their judgments to expire and no longer have the right to collect what they are rightfully owed. We believe that you have come way too far through the court system to let the defendant get away with your money again.
How Do I Collect Interest on My Case?
This is money that most people forget to collect. You are entitled to receive interest money at the rate of 7% to 10% per year for every day that passes that your judgment remains unpaid. Interest is not automatically added to your judgment. It must be claimed to receive it. This is very important so as not to lose any money that is rightfully due to you.
What about using an attorney to enforce my judgment?
That is clearly your choice. Attorneys themselves use our services to assist them in their judgment collection needs.
Should I use a collection agency?
That depends on you. However, collection agencies are known to make harassing phone calls and mail out threatening letters. Our strategy is not that way. We have a solid manner which has proven to be both strategic and methodical in providing services that have boosted our client's success rate of collection.
​
Do you provide services on debts that are not judgments?
No. Our specialty is providing enforcement services on money judgments only.
I have a judgment awarded in another State in the United States but the judgment debtor has moved to California, can you help?
​
Yes. We can obtain a domesticated judgment in the State of California based on the judgment received in another State in the United States. Please feel free to call or email us to discuss how we can be of assistance.
​
What if I have Questions that Are Not Answered Online?
We have attempted to make our website as user-friendly as possible. If you have any questions, no matter what they might be regarding our services, please do not hesitate to communicate with us by whatever method is most convenient for you. Our fastest method to contact us is by email.
