Well, winter is finally here in South Florida. A time to enjoy perfect weather, family, and friends. Dining out along the sidewalks of Naples, Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and of course South Beach, what could be better? The masses come south from the frigid north and spend their money. This is the time to aggressively pursue collections if you are owed money from a business in Florida. This is the time when restaurants, clothing retailers, tourist shops, and just about every business in Florida makes the majority of their profit for the year.Here at Thomas J. Maccari PA we emphasize to our clients the importance of instituting aggressive commercial collection procedures in the winter time. These would include:
- Immediately filing suit if a payment plan isn’t complied with by the debtor
- Hitting the debtor’s bank account immediately after a judgment is obtained as this is the time businesses are flush with cash
- Levying upon the assets of the business( most often the threat of showing up at a restaurant or other business with the Sheriff in order to remove and sell those assets is enough to get you paid)
- Immediately filing suit if a payment plan isn’t complied with by the debtor
- Immediately filing suit if a payment plan isn’t complied with by the debtor
