Debt Collection From Scamming Landlord

Judgment Obtained Against Boca Raton Woman and Real Estate Agent in Rental Scam

Our debt recovery law firm was retained by a Michigan woman, who after being introduced to an alleged high end  Boca Raton  property, that was supposedly  available for rent, sent $26,000.00 as a security deposit  to the owner of the property. The real estate agent failed to disclose a material fact to our client, namely that the restrictive covenants of the HOA did not allow owners to rent the property.  After learning of this fact, a little too late, our client demanded a return of the deposit. Both the real estate agent and the property owner  acknowledged that the money was due to my client , but the money  was no longer available to be returned. No explanation was given  to our client and soon, the owner of the property and the real estate agent  stopped communicating with our client.

Securing a Judgment was Relatively Easy -How to Collect on the Judgment is the Challenge

Obtaining a judgment for our client was relatively easy.  It should be noted that we obtained a judgment against both the husband and wife, the owners of the property as well as the real estate agent.  In Florida if a creditor only has a judgment against one spouse, property held as tenants by the entirety  are exempt from execution.  Because we obtained a judgment against both spouses this exemption will not pose a problem  in our enforcement efforts. The other area that has to be addressed even though we have a judgment  against both spouses, we would not be able to execute  on the homestead property  of the owners because of Florida’s constitutional protection of homestead property .  Fortunately, we were able to find several properties owned by the owners. Since you may only have one homestead, we are now exploring the possibility of foreclosing on the one of the other properties .

Collecting on Past Due Accounts Using a Collection Agency or Debt Collection Law Firm

For small business owners, collecting on past due accounts from your company’s customers is time consuming and keeps you from focusing on your company’s core business.  Because of that, many businesses turn to commercial collection agencies and or debt collection law firms to assist with debt collection efforts.  A collection agency can offer some value for those companies that have many small balance accounts that need to be sent to outside collection.  However, as we have previously talked about in previous articles is the fact that collection agencies are not licensed to practice law. A collection agency must send accounts to collection attorneys and debt collection law firms for further debt collection efforts once it is determined that the collection agency will be unable to collect on the past due debt. In doing so the collection agency raises its contingent collection fee.

Collection Agencies Can Serve a Limited Purpose

Debt collection law firms send out demand letters as well as make debt collection calls to your customers just as a commercial collection agency would do.  However, a major distinction between a collection agency and a debt collection law firm is that the demand for payment of your company’s past due accounts will come from a collection lawyer.  Receiving a demand letter for payment from a collection attorney lets your customer know that your company is prepared to take your customer to court if an amicable resolution to the past due account cannot be reached. In addition, your company will not have to pay an inflated contingency fee by sending accounts directly to a collection law firm as your company will not have to pay the collection agency an extra fee for simply sending the past due account to a collection law firm.
