JudgmentBuy has the best referral payment system for Judgment Enforcers, attorneys, court researchers, and any judgment lead finder or provider.

Earn money by helping Original Judgment Creditors (OJCs) - usually known as the plaintiff. start recovering their judgment money by starting with JudgmentBuy. By simply finding and referring a judgment lead to JudgmentBuy, you earn five percent of the net profit - if and when the judgment is eventually enforced, settled, or sold. This means any money JudgmentBuy gets, we split 50/50 with you. JudgmentBuy works hard to help every enforceable judgment get enforced.

You don't have to have a copy of the judgment or know the judgment owner. All we need is the OJC's contact information. More information is appreciated, but is optional. Whoever refers the lead to JudgmentBuy first gets the credit. Our simple system has no hassles and is safer than referring leads directly to a recovery entity. (See our Liability Of Lead Providers article.)

Where to find judgment leads?

When you find a judgment lead that's not right for you, it is now an income opportunity:
1) You are getting out of the judgment business - but you still get leads.
2) In your business, you find many judgments not right for you.
3) You may know someone with a judgment.
4) Online data services such as Merlin, Lexis, etc.
5) Researching court records.
6) Judgment Enforcers getting calls, emails, and faxes.
7) Judgment lead sellers such as KnowX, JellyBean, Wolfgang, etc.
8) You are a process server, or someone else that meets a lot of judgment owners.
9) You are good at marketing, so why not for judgment leads?

How long will it take for a Judgment Enforcer to pick my judgment lead?

How long it takes depends on:
1) How many Judgment Enforcers work where the debtor's assets are.
2) How big and enforceable the judgment and debtor appear.
3) How many other judgments we have listed in the same State/County.
4) How popular JudgmentBuy becomes - we improve daily.

When will I get paid for my lead?

You get paid when we get paid - it depends on when the judgment is:
1) Evaluated by a qualified Judgment Enforcer. (Your judgment is
reviewed, and the debtor appears to have, or may one day obtain assets.)
2) Accepted by a Judgment Enforcer.
3) Enforced, purchased or settled by the Judgment Enforcer - meaning the debtor's assets
have been used to pay off the Judgment.
4) Paid by the Judgment Enforcer - to the Original Judgment Creditor and us.

How long these 4 steps take, depends mostly on how enforceable the Judgment is.

What will we tell your Referrals? We ask them if they have a judgment that needs be enforced, or whatever you wish us to say.

What is a good lead? Most leads do not pan out. Often by the time a judgment owner has contacted you they have contacted 100 other enforcers. A good lead is where the debtor has assets and the OJC wants their judgment enforced and is willing to pay to make that happen. Of course that's very hard to predict. If the lead is a big company, try and find a name of a specific person, as most big companies do not want their judgments enforced.

If you refer raw leads, many of them won't pan out. If you pre-screen, most will pan out. It would benefit you to remind OJCs that JudgmentBuy is the right solution - because we are. JudgmentBuy has a "difficult" section for lemon judgments, the kind that might pay off but won't be easy. (Please read our Finding and Selling Judgment Leads article.)

How do I know if my lead is being enforced? We handle everything. We can put up a status page, private to you so you can see progress. Things usually move slowly in this economy.

When will I be paid? You get paid when we get paid. The Enforcers pay us 10% of their net profit, you get half of that, 5% of their net profit. Our agreement covers it all.

Will you send me a 1099? If we pay you more than $600 a year, we will have to send you a 1099.

Do I have to get a copy of the Judgment? No.

Do you pay referrals on referrals? (If I refer someone to you that refers judgments to you, can I earn a fee for the judgments they refer?) Yes, referrals that have signed up with us, get (one level) 20% of whatever profit JudgmentBuy earns from leads coming from providers you referred to JudgmentBuy.

When I talk to the OJC, what should I tell them? Anything you wish, perhaps, "I know a company that can help, can I refer them to you?" (Then email us to tell us about the lead.)

Do I need to skip trace and look for assets on the debtors? No, all we need is the name of the judgment owner and their phone number or email address. However, if you send us a judgment lead where the assets and location of the debtor are known, the judgment will be enforced quickly and you will get paid much faster.

How hard will JudgmentBuy work to convince an OJC? Original Judgment Creditors sometimes are not ready to have their judgment enforced.

Some are too big, and have their own lawyers and collection agencies. When we bring their attention to having something done to enforce their judgment, their response is often that they will handle it "in house". It does not seem to matter to them, that their "in house" solution has done nothing to try and recover their judgment(s) for many years. JudgmentBuy can't help when and OJC is not facing reality.

Some are not realistic, and think their judgments are made of gold, or that nobody should make more than (e.g.) 20%, when recovering a judgment. Those people would rather let their judgments expire and become worthless than give up any portion of whatever might be recovered. We can't help those who do not believe that half of something is better than all of nothing.

Most judgments owners want to sell their judgment for an unrealistic amount of cash up front - and need to shop their judgment for many months before accepting reality.

We always try two times, we either email, call, write a letter, or send a fax. Each of these counts as one try. (If a letter bounces, we try one more time to skip-trace the OJC's address and remail.) If the OJC does not respond after this, we stop trying. We can give you a report on lead status upon your request.

To a reasonable degree, we follow up on your leads, we want your lead to pay off as much as you do. Some OJCs "smell the coffee" and contact us even a year later.
