Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Re: Trying to Collect on a Promisory Note

Absolutely, and the sooner you take legal action on this issue the better! You definitely do not want to wait until the statute of limitations bars your claim forever. So, the best route for you to promptly take here would be to send out a demand letter and adjudicate the matter in court ASAP if this person at issue is non-responsive. Once you get a court judgment, you will then have legal collection remedies such as wage garnishments, bank account levies and/or real property liens to collect your money from the "deadbeat" debtor at issue.

It is possible to hire a lawyer to sue under the note. Generally, most notes have a provision allowing the recovery of reasonable attorney fees. We can assist by filing a lawsuit and garnishing wages or attaching a bank account. Please call us if you have any questions.

You'll need to secure a judgment, which would include your attorney fees pursuant to the agreement. Then you will have the ability to pursue collection remedies, such as wage garnishment, bank account levies, and attachment of real property.

I can offer a free consultation and my rates are very reasonable.

You can go to court, get a judgment against the debtor, and then you will have the ability to go into his bank account, seize real property and sell it to pay the note, and many other options. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further. I'm a lawyer in the Los Angeles area.
