Debt collection involves pursuing payment on debts owed by individuals or businesses, while complying with California and federal laws designed to protect consumers and creditors.
Core steps include sending demand letters, gathering supporting records, negotiating settlements, filing civil actions if needed, and pursuing enforcement tools such as judgments and post-judgment remedies.
This glossary explains common terms used in California collection matters and helps you follow the process.
A formal written request for payment sent to the debtor that outlines the amount owed and possible next steps.
A court order confirming the amount owed and authorizing enforcement if necessary.
A negotiated agreement to resolve the debt, often for a reduced amount, with terms agreed by both sides.
A court-ordered deduction from wages or bank accounts to satisfy the debt, subject to applicable exemptions.
