RENT JUDGMENTS - We do not handle rent judgments. Due to a number of factors, including the enactment of Senate Bill 908, we cannot accept this type of judgment which is classified as a ‘consumer debt’. According to Civil Code §1788.2 (f), a consumer debt is defined as “money, property or their equivalent, due or owing or alleged to be due or owing from a natural person, by reason of a consumer credit transaction.” [See blogpost SB 908.]
A consumer debt, generally, will include judgments for the following: unpaid rent, credit card debt, attorney fees for personal matters, medical expenses, personal loans, domestic support, etc. If your judgment comes under the aforementioned categories we legally cannot accept your judgment. A third party collecting consumer debts must hold either a law degree or a special license from the state. Due to a number of factors, we have opted out. Note that debts incurred by a business or for a business purpose are not considered consumer debt.
What judgments may we consider? Civil non-consumer judgments (limited and unlimited), criminal, probate and in some cases, small claims. Each judgment is carefully evaluated to see if it is a good fit.
