Why Debt Defense Leads Need a Verified Address

A debt defense lead without a usable address is just a name. Mail is the main way to reach someone who was just sued, so Revenue Spark delivers a lead only when the address is complete and verified. For most debt cases, the address comes straight from the court record.

Where does the address come from?

In debt collection, eviction, and lien cases we reviewed, the court's party details view listed a mailing address for each defendant. Revenue Spark uses that address when it is there. Only when it is missing do we look for the person in our own records and, as a last step, a people-search lookup.

What does verified mean?

Every address is checked with a Google address validation, which tells us whether it is a complete, deliverable address. A lead that fails the check, such as a city name with no street, is not delivered. That is why some filings in the court record never reach you.

What about a wrong or old address?

A court-record address can be out of date, because it is whatever the plaintiff supplied when it filed. Verification confirms the address exists and is complete, not that the person lives there today. Mail to an old address can come back undelivered.

Why does this matter for cost?

A lead you cannot reach is a wasted lead fee and wasted postage. By requiring a complete address first, we aim to keep that to a minimum. See what a Utah debt collection filing shows for how party details appear, and how Revenue Spark gets its referrals for the process.

Leads are $0.50 each; see pricing and debt defense leads.
