Assignment Memo:
We represent Washington Ins. Co. They paid a claim by their insured in the amount of $21,235.00. The claim arose out of an automobile collision between the insured, Deborah Anderson, and Mr. Karl Sanders. Mr. Sanders ran a stop sign, and his vehicle collided with the insured resulting in the damage. Washington Ins. has written to Mr. Sanders requesting that he either provide proof of insurance at the time of the accident or that he pay the claim in full. He has not responded.
Prepare a draft of a demand letter to Mr. Karl Sanders demanding that he pay the $21,235.00 or contact me to see if we can reach an agreement for payment of the debt. Inform him that this is an attempt to collect a debt. Also inform him that if he does not contact us within 30 days of the date of the letter, I will assume that he does not dispute the debt and I will pursue all legal remedies available under the law. Inform him that a lawsuit will be filed in the district court for the full amount of the debt plus interest, and I will request any fees and costs I may incur in pursuit of the litigation. In addition, inform him that pursuant to New Washington law, once a judgment is obtained I can take action to have his driver’s license and vehicle registration suspended under the provisions of the Financial Responsibility Act, NWSA § 45-6-124.
Statutory Law: Section 45-6-124 of the New Washington Financial Responsibility Act allows a judgment creditor to take action to suspend a debtor’s driver’s license and vehicle registration for nonpayment of any judgment arising from a motor vehicle accident.
