About Ken Dinkins
I’m Ken Dinkins, a full-time investor and enforcement specialist. For more than two decades I’ve turned “worthless pieces of paper” into real money for creditors across multiple states.
I’m not an attorney — I don’t bill by the hour, and I don’t get paid unless I collect. What I do is take over judgments that others have given up on, then use subpoenas, garnishments, court orders, and enforcement strategies to make them pay.
 Having a case I litigated personally cited in national legal commentary underscores what I bring to judgment recovery: persistence, accuracy, and a track record of real wins in court.
Case Study: Dinkins v. Schinzel (Federal Court, 2020)
The Problem
In 2018, I became the target of defamatory online statements that damaged my business reputation. The false claims were persistent and highly visible — the kind of damage that can’t be undone without significant cost.
The Action
Rather than walk away, I represented myself (pro se) in federal court. I specifically asked the court not only for general damages, but also for the cost of online reputation repair services — a request rarely made, and almost never granted, in defamation cases at the time.
The Result
In 2020, the court entered a default judgment in my favor and awarded me $43,000 in damages. Importantly, the court’s order explicitly recognized internet reputation repair costs as recoverable damages.
Why It Matters
This case has been noted in legal commentary as one of the first federal cases to award damages specifically for reputation repair services. UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh highlighted it as a significant development in how courts measure harm in the digital age:
“A notable early example is the 2020 case Dinkins v. Schinzel, where a federal court awarded damages specifically for the cost of internet reputation repair.”

Why Creditors Choose Me
    Â
    Experience that matters: I’ve enforced judgments in multiple states, against both individuals and businesses.
   Results-oriented: I only get paid if I collect. No collection, no fee.
-
Courtroom tested: I’ve faced off against attorneys, responded to their tactics, and won.
Proof you can verify: Every time I collect, a Satisfaction of Judgment gets filed in court. I also publish examples of real releases and collections here.
My Promise
Most creditors never see a dime from their judgment. Attorneys don’t chase them because it’s not profitable. Collection agencies rarely touch them because they lack the legal tools.
That’s where I come in. If your judgment qualifies, I’ll enforce it at my own risk and expense — and you’ll finally get paid.
