Commercial Collections
If your accounts receivable have not been received in quite a while then you should call us.
Your business is important to you and important to us. So let us get straight to business.
We charge a fixed percentage from 15% to 25% depending on the amount in controversy, the time it’s been owed, and the level of difficulty to collect. The good news is that if you had a responsible attorney set up your credit agreement, the debtor will most likely be responsible for our fee. Therefore, other than some upfront costs (that are mostly reimbursed) commercial collections cost your business very little.
We don't get paid if you don't get paid!
It is a very true slogan but there is a catch. To file a civil case in the District Court, where most claims are made, It costs about 200 to 220 dollars depending on the number of summons' required. Summonses are not reimbursed but the 195 dollars required to file claim is added to the debtor’s amount owed. Therefore, we do require a 300 dollar retainer for every claim (though this can be negotiated depending on the amount of claims). The retainer is only to cover court costs and constable fees (which also get added to the debtor’s amount owed).
All we require from you is a copy of the credit agreement, and the accounting sheet of all items sold and monies owing. We may require your account manager to sign some court documents but otherwise after an initial meeting your business can fax or mail us your "accounts to be collected" and we will get right on it.
The world of commercial collections is very time consuming. The longer you wait to file a claim for your money, the harder it can be to collect it. Don't wait - contact us today.
