1.0 out of 5 stars
practically useless, July 23 2008
By John Stockdale - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Attorney's Guide to the Collection of Bad Debts: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Based on the promotional copy, I had high hopes for this book. But it is nothing more than a quick gloss over the topic from the point of view of two New York lawyers.Due to New York's particular legal system, this book has little applicability outside that jurisdiction. It describes situations that may have led your debtor to slow or stop paying, briefly describes the need for good business judgment coupled with solid legal advice, provides an overview of New York's legal system, and gives a cursory description of techniques appropriate to New York collection. This book does not provide advice to either the lay man or the collection professional regarding collection practice nor does it address the impact that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act may have on any collection effort. Lastly, the authors include a compendium of legal form, taking up 47 pages. Each form is faithfully reproduced on a single 5 by 7 page, but is darn near illegible.
In closing, I would not recommend this book. More information can be obtained through free sources commonly available on the internet.

4.0 out of 5 stars
To the point and written in plain English, Dec 2 2007
By DS "Real Estate Manager" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Attorney's Guide to the Collection of Bad Debts: 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This guide spells out what's involved in collecting debt. As noted, winning a judgement is no comfort if it cannot be collected. The guide is easy to understand will be useful for anyone with a potential need to collect bad debt. Step by step the process is well explicated.I especially liked the parts about not getting overly focused on the litigation and keeping the ultimate goal - getting money on the judgement.
