If that action is not successful and the sheriff is not able to collect the money for your car accident repair, that is owed and no other valuables could be attached, you may need to put other measures in place, to get your compensation paid.
A sheriff will not do an investigation into the affairs of your debtor out of his own duty. As long as the creditor do not support him with information's of where to find the valuables of the debtor, owing the money to compensate your car accident damage.

The professional claim collector will do so. If the liable party successfully hide his/her valuables during the search by the sheriff, appropriate measures must be taken to attach this valuables/money.
An investigation into the environment of the debtor is to start with. The people in the neighbourhood must be questioned about the debtor's life and lifestyle. If the liable party is employed, his/her workplace must be investigated and procedures taken to receive payment.
When the claim collector has enough information about the debtor causing the car accident damage, a garnishee order may be issued and delivered to the employer of the debtor, in order to deduct such money from the salary and to transfer such into your account.
If the debtor's workplace cannot be found or he in fact is not employed, reasonable pressure must put onto him, make him/her willing to solve the matter. The claim collector may reach an agreement with the liable party to pay off the debts and will control that payments will be made to plan.
A RAMLA listed claim collector will verify the debtor's financial situation in your specific case and work to collect the money due to you.

Credit check before taking legal action can save unwanted surprise and costs!

Credit check before taking legal action at all . . . !
can save unwanted surprise and costs when you are involved in an car accident in South Africa and you discover, that the party who caused the car accident damage is not insured, against at least 3rd party car accident damage claims.
It will be wise to verify the financial background of the person or company, liable for the car accident damage, before you take any costly legal action.
Determining whether or not there is a reasonable chance to successfully collect your car accident compensation, when the case for compensation had been finalised and successfully won, is key.
It will be strongly recommended doing so, before taking the legal matter forward and huge costs may be expected.
Claiming against someone who is simply unable to pay for the car accident damage they have caused, is the most unwanted scenario. You will spend time and money to pursue a legal claim for damage compensation, without a chance to harvest any compensation at all.
If you are a RAMLA member, the car accident claim management will represent you and undertake the needed steps to enforce your claim legally, without any other financial contributions than the membership fee, but claim collection does not form part of the regular member service.
RAMLA will issue a summons against the liable party, so that (if they do not dispute it) you will have a valid warrant of execution even if the one deemed liable will not be creditworthy.

After a successful claim for vehicle damage compensation, RAMLA is entitled to receive the part of the compensation which has to be awarded for legal cost (to cover our own legal expenses) from the liable party. If the liable party will not pay your damage compensation and the legal cost taxed against him, the member is obliged to step in to pay for the directly spend legal expenses RAMLA paid to pursue the claim to external attorneys and court fees.
When a case has been won, and the other party do not pay out, it is the member's responsibility to take measures and to cover the costs therefore, to collect the money, including the awarded legal costs.
If it appears that it will not be of economic value to claim for compensation for damages suffered in a motor car accident, when it is clear that the liable party simply cannot pay compensation at all, you eventually decide not to take further legal action as to issue and serve the summons, hoping that no defence will be entered into.

A RAMLA listed claim collector will determine if a debtor is able to pay!
|
|
Claim collection can be a complex matter.
When the claim collector realises that the debtor is not cooperating - either in offering instalments or asking for other methods to pay off the claim against him - they will start a comprehensive investigation.
A listed claim collector will determine if a debtor is able to pay! Independently working claim collectors listed with RAMLA, investigate the personal environment of the debtor. Having their own methods of claim collecting and investigations, but are obliged to integrate some essentials steps into their claim enforcement strategy.
1. They will visit the debtor and investigate their
financial situation in an open way, asking for information
in the neighbourhood and finding out quite important
information about his habits, lifestyle, etc.
2. When they have determined that the party is employed,
the employer will be contacted to obtain information
about the debtor, and to secure data to place a
garnishee order to claim a part of the salary every pay
day as long the debt is paid off.
RAMLA claim collectors will not rest until your money is received!
As all claim collectors know, there will usually be ways to collect the outstanding money by putting the liable party under enough pressure.
Unless the matter is hopeless, they will not rest before the complete amount is paid out to the accident victim. RAMLA believes that a debtor will pay his obligation under reasonable pressure, if he is at all able to do so.
