Electronic Signatures in a Judgment business

Electronic signatures (one example is Adobe Echosign) are becoming more popular, and some (busy  and successful) judgment enforcers are starting to use them in their business.

The reason to use electronic signatures in your judgment business, is that it can dramatically speed up how fast one gets their judgment contracts/agreements signed and returned. It can turn weeks of waiting into minutes. The original judgment creditor does not need a printer, paper, a pen, an envelope, fax, or a stamp. These minor tasks can help to create procrastination. All the original judgment creditor has to do is type their name electronically, and Echosign sends a copy of the signed contract/paperwork to both you and them. Echosign works on all modern computers, tablets, phones, iPods, etc.

Electronic signatures are binding in all 50 states. Echosign (and other companies) logs their location, the device they used to sign their document on, their IP address, their email account used to access the document, the time, the date, etc; and produces an Echosign Certification Document with all of the above. It is even more secure than an ink signature in many ways.

Of course, some people might resist electronic signatures, and many courts do not accept them (E.G., on an Assignment of Judgment), so do not abandon the pen and paper method completely.  This is how electronic signatures might speed up things in a judgment business:

1) Contact with the prospective Original Judgment Creditor.

2) Email the OJC your purchase agreement via Echosign.

3) Receive the Echosigned agreement.

4) Automatically (with an auto-responder), or manually email the OJC, notifying them you will be mailing/emailing the assignment of judgment with instructions to get it notarized.

5) Mail your hard copy of assignment contract with a return envelope, postage, and instructions to get it notarized.

Electronic signatures reduces the procrastination factor. Once the original judgment creditor has electronically signed your agreement, they are now are invested in the process. Once they are invested in the process, they are much more likely to follow through with signing the assignment of judgment (which is what really matters). This is crucial, because for the assignment they actually have to do some work to get it notarized, it is easier to get them to do that once they have signed off and are invested in the process.
