How collection works
What Is Skip-Tracing?
Skip-tracing is our use of cutting-edge technology and databases to locate debtors’ current whereabouts, contact information, and assets. This critical step enhances recovery success by ensuring we reach the right people efficiently and compliantly.
What Happens If My Debtor Doesn’t Pay Right Away?
If initial efforts don’t succeed, we’ll report the debt to credit bureaus, which can negatively impact their credit score and encourage resolution. We’ll also audit the claim to assess if it warrants legal action, providing you with a clear recommendation based on evidence and potential recovery value.
Is Legal Action Optional?
Absolutely! Legal proceedings involve costs, so this step is always optional and requires your explicit authorization. We coordinate with our nationwide network of debt-collection attorneys only when it aligns with your goals, ensuring a practical path forward.
What If My Debt Is Old?
We happily accept older debts! The statute of limitations varies by state, so contact us to verify if your account is still enforceable. Even for aged debts, our advanced skip-tracing and negotiation tactics can often yield results where others fail.
Payments and updates
When Do I Get My Money Once It’s Collected?
We remit payments to you the month after we receive them. We hold each payment during that period to make sure it fully clears and to reduce the risk of chargebacks, returned payments or other reversals.
What If My Debtor Sends the Payment to Me?
That’s excellent news—it means our efforts are working! Report the payment to us as soon as possible so we can update the account accordingly. This ensures accurate tracking and maintains compliance.
How Will I Know the Status of My Account?
We will notify you of any significant updates, developments, or payments received on your account. If you would like an update at any other time, please contact your assigned Account Manager and they will be happy to assist.
