Top Five Reasons to Hire JRS Private Investigators Judgement Recovery
Hiring JRS Private Investigators for judgment recovery can significantly increase your chances of collecting a court-ordered judgment, especially when the debtor is difficult to find or is hiding assets
. PIs use specialized tools and expertise that go beyond what an individual or standard collection agency can typically do.1. Uncovering hidden assets
Many debtors go to great lengths to conceal their wealth by transferring assets to family members, setting up shell companies, or moving funds offshore. JRS Private Investigators are skilled at performing in-depth asset searches that uncover:
- Hidden accounts: This includes tracing bank, brokerage, and retirement accounts that the debtor has not disclosed.
- Real estate: Investigators search property ownership records for undeclared real estate holdings, even those titled under another name or business entity.
- Luxury items: A PI can identify luxury assets such as expensive cars, boats, or jewelry.
- Digital assets: Some investigators use modern tools, like blockchain analysis, to hunt down complex digital assets, such as cryptocurrency.
2. Locating elusive debtors (skip tracing)
If a debtor has moved or disappeared entirely to avoid paying, a PI can track them down, a process known as "skip tracing". Using advanced techniques and proprietary databases, they can:
- Analyze address history to determine the debtor's movements.
- Monitor social media for clues about their whereabouts, activities, or associations.
- Verify employment to identify sources of income for wage garnishment.
3. Investigating fraudulent transfers
Debtors sometimes attempt to shield their assets by transferring them to family members, associates, or business entities. A PI can investigate and document these fraudulent transfers by analyzing:
- Recent financial transactions and business ownership records.
- Property transfers and sales history to prove an intent to avoid payment.
- Shell corporations that may have been created solely to hide funds.
4. Collecting admissible evidence through surveillance
When a debtor claims to have no money but continues to live an expensive lifestyle, surveillance is a powerful tool for obtaining court-admissible evidence. A PI can use covert surveillance to document:
- Lavish spending and the purchase of expensive goods or real estate.
- Financial inconsistencies that contradict claims of insolvency.
- Undisclosed business operations or unreported income.
This evidence can strengthen your case and enable your legal team to seize assets or garnish wages.
5. Supporting legal strategy
Private investigators often work in collaboration with attorneys to strengthen the judgment enforcement process. They can:
- Provide detailed investigative reports and supporting evidence that comply with legal standards.
- Testify in court to validate their findings, providing credible, third-party testimony.
- Assist with legal filings for asset seizure or garnishment, providing the concrete proof needed to get a court order.
