Commercial
Debt Recovery
Our contacts and resources span the globe making
our debt recovery services available locally, nationally, and internationally.
Debt recovery is an incremental process. At every step, our dual
priorities are complete recovery of all moneys owed to you while
rehabilitating your debtors back into valuable customers. The
key components of our recovery service are:
Indicator Investigations
When one of your clients falls out of their normal
paying patterns or exhibits other payment warning signs, such
as an uncharacteristic drop in new orders placed, we will conduct
a database search to provide a quick picture of the company's
current financial status.
Demand Letters &
Faxes
Sometimes your customers are willing to pay, but they
just need an added sense of urgency before they do. Our letters
and faxes are designed to generate this urgency and cause you
to get your money sooner.
Your customer will receive a courteous yet authoritative
letter on our letterhead, informing them that they have a short,
fixed time period to make satisfactory payment arrangements or
their account will be placed for recovery.
This is usually applied to accounts that are
less than 120 days past due.

Pre-Legal Debt Recovery
Our trained recovery staff possesses over a century
of combined industry experience. We've found that our fair and balanced
approach to handling your past due accounts yields more results
(and money) than the usual telephone tactics.
We will approach your debtors firmly, yet tactfully.
There is no benefit in a debtor that is intimidated into paying.
We want to ensure that your customers will continue to be loyal
to you for years to come. The best way to do that is to solve the
problems that prevent them from paying.

Legal Debt Recovery
There will be times when a debtor will not pay
an invoice and the only remaining course of action is to seek a
legal judgment. You must also be careful not to spend more money
on legal fees when the debt is virtually uncollectible. Our experienced
legal team can prevent you from bearing the cost of a worthless
judgment.
Status Reporting
We regard information as an important asset. That
is why you will receive your first verbal status report from us
within 3 business days of assigning an account. After that, you
can receive verbal or written status reports on your accounts from
us at any time, just by making a simple toll-free phone call.
In the case of international accounts, once the
account has been assigned to us for collection, we forward the account
to our foreign correspondent, who initiates recovery procedures
immediately. We will provide a written status report to you within
fifteen days of accepting the international account, past this point,
verbal status reports will available as we do with our domestic
accounts, with comprehensive, automatically-timed, computer-generated
status reports.

Payment and Fees
All funds recovered by us during the recovery process
are placed in a trust account. Disbursements are made on a regular
timely schedule. The checks you receive will be for the full amount
recovered less our fee, which is a previously agreed upon percentage.
We charge a success fee. You are only charged for the money we collect.
With our headquarters in North America, our branches
in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Pakistan, and the People’s Republic
of China, and our strategic alliances in over 60 countries on six
continents, we can meet your commercial debt recovery and accounts
receivable needs both around the corner and around the globe.
We only charge a success fee (i.e. on contingency basis). You are
only charged for the money we collect.
