Court Enforcement

When the debtor has the ability to pay the debt and simply refuses to do so resulting in the need for court enforcement, we can often recover the full principal and interest owing and much of the costs of collection for our client. We can also ensure that the bad debt is reported on the debtor’s credit record if our client would like to do so.

If pre-litigation law firm collection action (see Pre-Litigation Law Firm Collection Action) is unsuccessful, we identify an enforcement avenue, obtain client instructions to do so, then sue, obtain and enforce judgment. Judgment is enforced through garnished wages or bank accounts, filing a writ of seizure and sale against the home and other real estate, or forcing the sale of real estate, if requested by our client, using the judicially-supervised sale process we pioneered in Ontario. We have particular expertise in judgment enforcement with an arsenal of other tools that ensure that if judgment debtor has the means to pay, we can almost always find a way to enforce the judgment (see Judgment Enforcement).  At any point during the process, we are open to settling the debt for what our client feels is reasonable given the circumstances.  

Contingency based collection means that payment for our work is contingent upon our success. If we are unsuccessful in our attempts to collect, you pay no fee.

Testimonials

Being a small business, we haven’t needed a collection agency in quite a few years. After a referral from our accounting firm, we were fortunate enough to make contact with Todd and his team at Christensen Law Firm. In addition to the exceptional and quick recovery work, Todd and his team were always quick to respond either via email or over the phone. They also provided advice and input in re-writing some of the clauses in our service contracts in order to help with future collections if needed. Needless to say, we are extremely pleased. We have passed their information along to some of our associates and will continue to do so in the future. Thanks again for everything.
