Recovery System for Debt Collection
Phase One
In our initial assault on delinquency, we hit the ground running. Within 24 hours of account placement, our team unleashes a multi-channel blitz. Debtors receive the first of four letters, while we dive deep into skip-tracing and investigation to secure the most up-to-date financial and contact details.
Our collectors are relentless, deploying daily attempts to engage and resolve through calls, emails, texts, and faxes. This barrage continues for 30 to 60 days, ensuring no stone is left unturned.
If our efforts in Phase One don’t yield fruit, we don’t hesitate. We escalate to Phase Two, engaging our network of seasoned attorneys to bring the weight of legal pressure to bear. Here’s a snapshot of our Phase One activity:
- First contact letter dispatched
- Comprehensive debtor investigation
- Persistent communication attempts
Our goal is clear: to secure payment swiftly and efficiently. If resolution remains elusive, we’re prepared to take the next step, armed with insight and strategy.
Phase Two
As we escalate our efforts in Phase Two, the case is handed over to a local attorney within our network. Immediate action is taken, with the attorney drafting a series of demanding letters on their official letterhead. This is coupled with persistent phone calls to the debtor, aiming to secure a resolution.
We understand the importance of persistence and legal leverage during this phase. Our affiliated attorneys are not just sending letters; they are actively engaging with the debtor to negotiate a settlement.
If these intensified efforts do not yield results, we prepare to advise you on the potential challenges and our recommended course of action for Phase Three. Rest assured, we are committed to pursuing every avenue to recover what is owed to you.
Phase Three
Upon reaching Phase Three, we face a critical decision point. Our comprehensive review of the debtor’s assets and case details will lead us to one of two paths. If the likelihood of recovery is slim, we’ll advise case closure, sparing you any further costs. Conversely, should litigation appear viable, the choice is yours.
Should you opt against legal action, we’ll respect your decision to either withdraw the claim or continue standard collection efforts—at no additional charge. However, choosing litigation means committing to upfront legal fees, typically between $600 to $700. These cover court costs and filing fees, essential for pursuing your claim in court.
We stand by our commitment: if litigation doesn’t result in recovery, you owe us nothing.
Our fee structure is straightforward and competitive, reflecting our dedication to your financial interests. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- For 1-9 claims, rates vary from 30% to 50% of the amount collected, depending on the age of the account and whether it’s under $1000.
- For 10 or more claims, the rates are slightly reduced, acknowledging the volume of your business.
Rest assured, we’re here to guide you through each phase, ensuring the best possible outcome for your financial recovery.
