RSD Discusses When to Pursue a Debt and When to Walk Away
Michimich.com/10272002

CLAWSON, Mich. - Michimich -- Are you unsure whether to pursue a debt or walk away?

At what point is a collected debt outweighed by the cost of legal action?

Determining whether to pursue legal action or to cease efforts requires careful consideration. Here's a comprehensive guide to help navigate this decision-making process effectively.

Factors Favoring Legal Action

• High Value Debt: For substantial debts, the potential financial gain from successful litigation may outweigh the costs and effort involved.
• Clear Documentation: When you have clear, documented evidence of the debt and the debtor's obligation to pay, you have a stronger case in court.
• Repeat Offender: If the debtor has a history of defaulting on debts or ignoring collection efforts, legal action may be necessary to compel payment.
• Assets and Solvency: If the debtor has assets or a reasonable ability to pay but refuses, legal action can force compliance through wage garnishment or asset seizure.

Reasons to Consider Walking Away

• Low Recovery Probability: If the debtor lacks assets or income to satisfy the debt, pursuing legal action may result in additional costs without a realistic chance of recovery.
• Cost-Effectiveness: For small debts, the expenses associated with litigation (e.g. legal fees and court costs) may outweigh the potential recovery.
• Time and Resources: Pursuing legal action can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. If the effort outweighs the potential return, it may be more efficient to cease collection efforts.
• Disputes and Defenses: If the debtor disputes the debt and presents valid defenses that complicate the case, resolving the matter outside of court may be preferable.
