Recovery System for Delinquent Accounts
Phase One
Within the first 24 hours of initiating Phase One, we spring into action. Our primary goal is to establish contact and negotiate a resolution. We deploy a multi-channel approach, sending the first of four letters and employing skip-tracing to uncover the most current financial and contact information.
Persistence is key. Our team makes daily attempts to reach the debtor through phone calls, emails, text messages, and faxes. This aggressive contact strategy continues for 30 to 60 days, aiming to resolve the matter swiftly.
If our efforts in Phase One don’t yield results, we don’t hesitate. We promptly escalate the case to Phase Two, engaging one of our affiliated attorneys within the debtor’s jurisdiction.
Here’s a snapshot of our Phase One activities:
- Sending the initial letter via US Mail
- Conducting thorough skip-tracing
- Making daily contact attempts
Our approach is designed to maximize the chances of recovery at this early stage, setting the stage for further action if necessary.
Phase Two
Once we escalate to Phase Two, the intensity of our recovery efforts increases. We partner with a local attorney within our network, ensuring that the debtor is approached with the seriousness that the situation warrants. The attorney will draft and send a series of demand letters on their law firm letterhead, reinforcing the urgency of settling the outstanding debt.
Our affiliated attorney will also initiate direct contact attempts, combining the formal demand with persistent phone calls. This dual approach is designed to maximize the pressure on the debtor to resolve the account.
If these efforts do not yield the desired results, we prepare for the decisive Phase Three. We will provide you with a detailed report outlining the challenges encountered and our recommended course of action. This ensures that you are fully informed and ready to make the critical decision on how to proceed.
Here’s a quick overview of the actions taken during Phase Two:
- Drafting and sending demand letters
- Persistent phone calls to the debtor
- Detailed reporting on efforts and challenges
Our commitment remains steadfast: to recover what is rightfully yours, with transparency and efficiency at every step.
Phase Three
At this juncture, we face a critical decision. If the debtor’s assets and the case facts suggest recovery is improbable, we advise case closure, incurring no cost to you. Conversely, should litigation seem viable, a choice presents itself.
If you opt against legal action, you may withdraw the claim or permit us to persist with standard collection efforts—calls, emails, faxes. However, choosing litigation necessitates upfront legal fees, typically $600-$700, based on the debtor’s location. These fees cover court costs, filing fees, and more.
Upon initiating legal proceedings, our attorney will seek full recompense, including filing costs. Should litigation not yield results, you owe nothing further.
Our fee structure is straightforward and competitive, reflecting the number of claims and their age. Here’s a succinct breakdown:
| Claims Submitted | Accounts < 1 Year | Accounts > 1 Year | Accounts < $1000 | Attorney Placed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-9 | 30% | 40% | 50% | 50% |
| 10+ | 27% | 35% | 40% | 50% |
The percentages represent the amount collected. Our commitment is to your satisfaction and the successful resolution of delinquent accounts.
