Overview.
Unpaid and/or past due accounts are an
unfortunate frequent occurrence in today’s business
world. These unpaid or past due accounts effect
businesses big and small. Small businesses tend to
suffer a greater economic hardship when faced with
unpaid and/or past due accounts. At The Beard Law
Group we understand how important your business and
its income are to you. We will work hard to collect
the amount owed to you, in order to provide you with
relief from the burden of these debts.
There are a variety of ways in which we can
collect on a past due account for you. We can first
attempt resolution through correspondence with the
debtor via letter and phone call. In the event that
the account cannot be settled, we can initiate legal
action in order to obtain a judgment for the past
due amount. Once a judgment has been obtained on the
account failure to pay can result in interest
charges at the rate of twelve percent (12%).
If the debtor is unwilling to pay after a
judgment has been rendered then by Alabama law we
can garnish the debtors wages. Alabama allows for
the garnishment of up to twenty-five percent (25%)
of the debtors wages. A garnishment will ensure that
you receive payments toward the past due account.
Do not let past due accounts adversely affect you and your business. If you have a past due account contact one of our dedicated lawyers about your rights and collection options.
Eviction.
Are you a landlord suffering with a tenant that refuses to pay? No need to stress, please contact our office and we will be glad to aid in a remedy for your specific situation as reasonably as possible. The eviction process, if completed correctly, can be very effective in removing and recapturing some of the debt owed to you from unwilling tenants. Most importantly, you will regain control of your property.
