Recovery System for Company Funds
Phase One
Initiating the recovery process, Phase One kicks off within 24 hours of account placement. Key actions include:
- Dispatch of the initial demand letter via US Mail.
- Comprehensive skip-tracing and investigation to secure optimal financial and contact data on debtors.
- Persistent outreach by our collectors through calls, emails, texts, faxes, and more, aiming for an early resolution.
Daily contact attempts are standard for the first 30 to 60 days, ensuring relentless pursuit of your funds. Should these efforts not yield results, the transition to Phase Two is immediate, involving our network of affiliated attorneys.
Phase Two
Upon escalation to Phase Two, the case is transferred to a local attorney within our network, ensuring that legal expertise is applied with precision. The attorney initiates contact with the debtor through a series of firm letters and persistent phone calls, aiming to secure payment.
The focus is on leveraging legal pressure to recover your funds, without yet proceeding to court.
If these intensified efforts do not yield results, we prepare a detailed report outlining the challenges encountered and our proposed strategy moving forward. This transparent approach ensures you are fully informed before entering Phase Three.
Phase Three
Upon reaching Phase Three, the path forward becomes clear. If our comprehensive assessment indicates a low likelihood of fund recovery, we advise case closure, sparing you any further financial commitment. Conversely, should litigation appear viable, a pivotal decision awaits you.
Litigation entails upfront legal costs, typically ranging from $600 to $700. These fees cover court costs and filing expenses, essential for initiating legal proceedings. Here’s a succinct breakdown of potential costs:
| Expense Type | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Court Costs | $600 – $700 |
| Filing Fees | Included |
Should you opt against legal action, withdrawing the claim incurs no charges. Alternatively, we can persist with conventional collection efforts.
In the event of unsuccessful litigation, rest assured, no further fees will be owed to our firm or affiliated attorneys. The closure of the case marks the end of financial obligations, ensuring a risk-managed approach to debt recovery.
Rates for Collection Services
Rates for 1 through 9 Claims
When dealing with a modest number of claims, specific rates apply. For companies seeking to collect on 1 to 9 claims, the fees are structured to reflect the age and value of the accounts receivable. Here’s a concise breakdown:
- Accounts under 1 year in age: 30% of the amount collected.
- Accounts over 1 year in age: 40% of the amount collected.
- Accounts under $1000.00: 50% of the amount collected.
- Accounts placed with an attorney: 50% of the amount collected.
These rates are designed to ensure that your collection efforts are both cost-effective and efficient. It’s important to note that the percentage taken is contingent upon successful collection, aligning the service provider’s interests with your own.
The goal is to maximize recovery while minimizing your expenses. This tiered pricing structure facilitates a tailored approach to each unique claim.
Rates for 10 or More Claims
When handling a volume of 10 or more claims, economies of scale come into play. Bulk submissions result in reduced rates, ensuring that your cost per collection is optimized. The structured rate system is designed to be both fair and competitive, reflecting the complexity and age of the accounts.
Volume discounts are applied as follows:
| Age of Account | Rate of Collection |
|---|---|
| Under 1 year | 27% |
| Over 1 year | 35% |
| Under $1000 | 40% |
| With Attorney | 50% |
The more claims you submit, the more you save. It’s a straightforward approach to ensure your company’s financial recovery is maximized while keeping costs in check.
Remember, the goal is to recover your funds efficiently. With larger claim batches, you benefit from a streamlined process and a dedicated team focused on your success.
