District Court Awards Collection Contract to Capital Recovery Systems

The Judges of the 33rd District Court, Chief Judge James Kersten, Judge Michael K. McNally, and Judge Edward Nykiel, announced today that the Court has entered into an agreement with Capital Recovery Systems, Inc. to collect outstanding fines, costs and fees on cases that date back to 2003. 

The company, based in Columbus, Ohio, is a full service receivables management and debt collection agency, specializing in court collections.  While the company has contracts with over 350 courts in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Florida and West Virginia, this is the first contract entered into with a State of Michigan court.

The 33rd District Court serves the Townships of Brownstown and Grosse Ile, and the Cities of Flat Rock, Gibraltar, Rockwood, Trenton and Woodhaven.  With the I-75 Detroit to Toledo corridor bisecting the jurisdiction, many of the outstanding cases were issued to people who reside outside the State of Michigan.

This arrangement is the most recent in the Court’s increased efforts to collect from those defendants who have ignored their obligations.

“The Court has been very successful in efforts to collect outstanding fines and costs from Michigan residents.  We are now turning to collection experts to track down the residents of other states who are indebted to the 33rd District Court,” Chief Judge James K. Kersten stated.
