What is the name of your state? WY
This is wat they say: we are going to forward your case to sheriff's small claims. (the amount is small indeed, and we told them we would pay, but right now we don't have the money).
And how is that possible? Aren't they supposed to file a claim at court first? I mean, what is it going to look like: sheriff will come to us to collect a check? Don't they have other things to take care of at the sheriff's office? By the way, the collector is in another state.
If it was that easy, how come other collectors don't do it?
From all I read about debt collection, if all calls and letters fail, collectors go to court. The debtor receives summons, and either settles the case before the court, or goes through the trial procedures. And only if the court rules agaist the debtor, THAN a sheriff may come to make sure the debtor follows the court's order.
Am I right? Is that collector's agecy false-threatening us? Or they mean court when saying "sheriff's office" - to pinch our nerves?
