What should I do if someone owes me money?

Take the amount owed into consideration. A small debt may not be worth pursuing right away, while a larger debt might take some time to collect. If you are owed money in the course of a business transaction, ask for it as soon as possible. Waiting on the debt will only make it harder to collect. Helpful? Inquire politely about the money.

What’s the best way to get a debtor to pay?

One extremely effective strategy that I used was to call people at their jobs. The great thing about calling someone at work is that it’s hard for them to dodge the call without divulging to their co-workers or boss that they’re in debt and someone is trying to collect from them.

Where can I find out what debt I owe?

Account types you’ll be able to find on your credit reports include credit cards, personal loans, mortgages and more. Your credit report lists the amount owed on every account, along with its status and payment history, and contact information for the creditor handling the debt.

What happens if you don’t pay your debts?

It’s hard to say because it depends on whether the debt is your mortgage (that can be bad) or, say, your credit cards (not quite as bad). If you owe money and are stressed out, just remember that the outcome that you’re imagining is probably worse than the reality. Still, it’s always helpful to know what lies ahead.
