Judgment Recovery:
How To Protect Your Privacy From The Judgment Debtor.
Protecting your privacy from
debtors is something every judgment recovery consultant is
concerned about. Being stalked by an angry debtor after
you've garnished him is something none of us want to
experience.
Fortunately there are simple
precautions steps you can take to ensure your privacy will
not be compromised. Here are my personal recommendations:
Get a P.O. Box or a mail
receiving service. Keep in mind that any documents or
correspondence you mail to the court house or the levying
officer (sheriff, marshal, process server) becomes part of
the case file. The case file is public record and can be
accessed by the judgment debtor.
To keep your personal or
business address off public records obtain a P.O. Box.
Better yet, get a mail receiving service like The UPS Store.
You may pay a little extra, but they provide additional
services and you have 24 hour a day access to your mail box.
Obtain a voicemail service with
a telephone number that does not ring into your home. Use
this for any correspondence that requires a phone number.
For this you could also use your cell phone.
All the best,
