Recovery System for Company Funds
Phase One
Within the first 24 hours of initiating Phase One, we spring into action. Immediate and relentless, we deploy a multi-channel approach to engage the debtor. Our strategy includes:
- Sending the initial demand letter via US Mail.
- Conducting skip-tracing and investigations to unearth the most current financial and contact details.
- Utilizing phone calls, emails, text messages, and faxes to negotiate a resolution.
We’re committed to making daily contact attempts during the critical first 30 to 60 days. If these efforts don’t yield results, we seamlessly transition to Phase Two, involving our network of affiliated attorneys.
Our goal is to resolve the matter swiftly, minimizing the need for further escalation. However, should the situation demand it, we’re prepared to advance with determination and precision.
Phase Two
Once we escalate to Phase Two, our affiliated attorneys take the reins. They draft demand letters and make persistent calls to the debtor. Here’s what we do:
- Draft and send a series of firm demand letters on law firm letterhead.
- Initiate relentless phone contact, aiming to negotiate a resolution.
We don’t relent. Our attorneys’ persistent efforts are designed to demonstrate the seriousness of the situation to the debtor.
If these actions don’t yield results, we prepare a detailed report. This outlines the challenges faced and our recommended course of action. It’s a decisive moment for our clients, as we may advise proceeding to Phase Three or closing the case if recovery seems unlikely.
Phase Three
In the final stretch, we assess the viability of recovery. If prospects are dim, we advise case closure—no fees incurred. Should litigation be the path, you face a choice. Withdraw the claim at no cost, or brace for legal expenses. These may range from $600 to $700, depending on jurisdiction.
Upon opting for litigation, upfront costs are yours to bear. Our affiliated attorney then champions your cause, seeking full recompense. Failure to collect post-litigation? You owe us nothing.
Our commitment to transparency extends to our fee structure, which is contingent on successful collection. Here’s a snapshot:
| Age of Account | Rate |
|---|---|
| Under 1 year | 30% |
| Over 1 year | 40% |
| Under $1000 | 50% |
Note: Rates adjust based on the number of claims. We strive for competitive pricing, tailored to your situation.
Rates for Collection Services
Rates for 1 through 9 Claims
When we tackle late payments, our focus is on efficiency and effectiveness. For 1 through 9 claims, we’ve structured our rates to reflect the urgency and age of the account. The fresher the debt, the lower the rate – it’s that simple.
For accounts less than a year old, we charge 30% of the amount collected. As debts age, our efforts intensify, and so does the rate: 40% for accounts over a year. And for those particularly small or stubborn accounts under $1000, or those requiring legal action, the rate is set at 50%.
Our commitment is to provide you with a transparent and fair pricing structure, ensuring you get the best possible return on your recovery efforts.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Accounts under 1 year: 30% of the amount collected
- Accounts over 1 year: 40% of the amount collected
- Accounts under $1000: 50% of the amount collected
- Accounts placed with an attorney: 50% of the amount collected
Remember, these rates are competitive and designed to align with your financial recovery goals. We’re in this together, and our success is measured by your satisfaction and the recovery of your funds.
Rates for 10 or More Claims
When we handle a volume of 10 or more claims, we’re able to offer more competitive rates. The scale of operations allows us to reduce costs, passing the savings onto you. For accounts less than a year old, the rate is 27% of the amount collected. Older accounts are charged at 35%.
For smaller balances under $1000, we understand the importance of flexibility and have set the rate at 40%. Legal actions, however, remain at a 50% rate due to the intricate nature of such proceedings.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Age of Account | Rate |
|---|---|
| Under 1 year | 27% |
| Over 1 year | 35% |
| Under $1000 | 40% |
| Legal Action | 50% |
We strive to make the recovery process as cost-effective as possible, ensuring that your business retains the maximum possible revenue from overdue payments.
