Recovery System for Company Funds
Initial Debt Collection Process
Upon initiating the debt collection process, swift and strategic actions are paramount. Within 24 hours of account placement, a multi-channel communication strategy is deployed, encompassing letters, phone calls, emails, and more. The goal is to establish contact and negotiate a resolution, leveraging the best available financial and contact information.
The initial phase is critical, with daily attempts to engage debtors for the first 30 to 60 days. If these efforts do not yield results, the process escalates to involve legal counsel within the debtor’s jurisdiction.
The process is structured as follows:
- Immediate dispatch of the first of four letters to the debtor.
- Comprehensive skip-tracing and investigation to enhance contact and financial data.
- Persistent collector engagement aiming for an expedient resolution.
Should the initial phase not lead to a satisfactory outcome, the case transitions to a more intensive legal-focused phase. This systematic approach ensures that every avenue is explored before escalating to litigation, thereby optimizing the chances of fund recovery while managing costs.
Legal Action Recommendations
When the initial debt collection process fails to yield results, legal action becomes a necessary step. Careful consideration of the debtor’s assets and the facts of the case is crucial before proceeding. If the likelihood of recovery is low, we advise case closure, sparing you unnecessary expenses.
Should litigation be deemed viable, you face a critical decision. Opting out means no further costs, while proceeding requires covering upfront legal fees, typically between $600 to $700. These fees encompass court costs, filing fees, and are essential for filing a lawsuit on your behalf.
