As soneone who ran a debt collection agency for about 6 years... Urza Send a noteboard - 28/07/2018 05:38:20 PM

You might be suprised how low they are authotized to settle. Id push for 50% of what they are looking for. Debt collection agencies dont like to file suit if they can avoid it. Usually they are working on a contingency. Filing suit is expensive if theres any chance you cant actually collect. You need all the paper work from the client. Way more of a pain in the ass to get then you'd expect. Even if you have a great process for forwarding to local attorneys etc... a judgment is in cases like this pretty worthless anyway.


Push HARD

Not credit cards, debit cards. And bank transfers. Legolas - 26/07/2018 05:21:59 PM 585 Views
