When we reach the crossroads of litigation, the path we choose is pivotal. We must weigh the potential for recovery against the costs and risks of legal action. If the evidence suggests a low likelihood of recovery, our advice leans towards case closure, sparing you unnecessary expenses.

Strategic Approaches to Enhance Recovery Success
Evaluating the Probability of Debt Recovery
We assess the likelihood of debt recovery with a keen eye on the facts and the debtor’s assets. Our goal is to maximize recovery while minimizing your risk. If the odds are against us, we’ll advise case closure, ensuring you owe us nothing.
Probability isn’t just a number—it’s a strategy. We consider the age of the account, the amount owed, and the debtor’s location. Here’s a snapshot of our rate structure based on these factors:
| Claims Quantity | Account Age | Amount Owed | Collection Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-9 | < 1 year | Any | 30% |
| 1-9 | > 1 year | Any | 40% |
| 1-9 | Any | < $1000 | 50% |

| 10+ | > 1 year | Any | 35% |
| 10+ | Any | < $1000 | 40% |
When litigation is the chosen path, we prepare for the upfront legal costs. If litigation doesn’t pan out, we close the case with no additional fees to you.
Deciding on litigation? We’ll need to discuss the upfront costs, typically ranging from $600 to $700. This decision is critical, as it determines the next steps in our three-phase recovery system.
Recommendations for Case Closure or Continuation
When we reach the crossroads of case closure or continuation, our guidance hinges on the probability of recovery. If the likelihood is low, we advise to close the case and incur no further costs. Conversely, if litigation seems promising, we lay out the path ahead, including potential legal expenses.
- Closure: No fees owed if the case is deemed unrecoverable.
- Litigation: Upfront costs required, but no further fees if unsuccessful.
Our rates reflect the nature of the claim, with a sliding scale based on age, value, and whether attorney intervention is necessary. We’re committed to addressing delinquent accounts and enforcing payment terms in USA-Saudi trade projects, ensuring financial stability and fair business practices.
