If you can’t get paid any other way, it may be time to consider collecting through a lawsuit. Before you jump straight into court, however, get things right by considering the following:

1. The strengths and weaknesses of your claim, and whether you need to settle for less than you want or write off the debt.
2. Whether you should file a lawsuit or instead consider alternative dispute resolution.
3. Who you should name as a defendant in your collections case.
4. What legal theories you should raise against the defendants.

Your goal is to devise the best strategy, right from the start, to achieve the best possible result. 

How Strong is Your Case?

You’ll have to assess your case and determine whether it’s strong enough to win in either alternative dispute resolution or in court. Your evaluation of evidence should include: 

• Reviewing any letters or other written communications exchanged with the debtor, and your notes on any comments made orally.
• Analyzing the debtor’s likely claims and defenses.
• Evaluating the data objectively.
