Recovery System for Company Funds
Phase One
In the initial surge to reclaim our funds, we hit the ground running. Within the first 24 hours, our team dispatches a series of communications to the debtor, ranging from letters to digital outreach. We’re thorough, employing skip-tracing to uncover the most current financial details and contact information.
Our approach is persistent yet calculated. Daily attempts to engage with the debtor span from phone calls to emails, ensuring no stone is left unturned. Here’s a snapshot of our initial actions:
- Sending the first of four letters via US Mail
- Skip-tracing and investigating debtor information
- Persistent contact attempts through various channels
Should our efforts in this phase not yield the desired results, we seamlessly transition to Phase Two, engaging our network of skilled attorneys to escalate the matter.
Phase Two
As we escalate our efforts, Phase Two marks a critical turning point. We’ve engaged a local attorney within our network, ensuring that the debtor receives a clear message: it’s time to settle the debt. The attorney’s first action is to send a series of demand letters on their official letterhead, which often prompts immediate action.
The attorney’s involvement adds a layer of seriousness to our attempts. Their presence signifies our commitment to recovering what’s owed to you.
If the debtor remains unresponsive, our attorney intensifies the pressure with direct phone calls. Despite these efforts, some cases resist resolution. At this juncture, we prepare a detailed report outlining the challenges and our recommended course of action.
Here’s a snapshot of the attorney’s initial steps:
- Draft and send demand letters
- Initiate phone contact
- Assess the debtor’s response
- Compile a report for the client
Our approach is designed to maximize the chances of recovery while keeping you informed every step of the way.
Phase Three
At the crossroads of Phase Three, we face a critical decision. If our investigation suggests recovery is unlikely, we advise closing the case, at no cost to you. Conversely, should litigation seem viable, the choice is yours. Opt out, and you owe us nothing; opt in, and upfront legal costs apply.
Litigation is not a step to be taken lightly. It requires a financial commitment for court-related expenses, generally between $600 to $700. This is the juncture where we weigh the potential benefits against the costs involved.
We stand by your decision, offering continued standard collection efforts or proceeding with legal action upon your direction.
Our fee structure is straightforward and competitive, ensuring transparency at every stage. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- For 1-9 claims, rates vary from 30% to 50% of the amount collected, depending on the age of the account and its value.
- For 10 or more claims, the rates are slightly reduced, reflecting our commitment to volume-based discounts.
Making the right move in Phase Three is pivotal to the outcome of your financial dispute. We’re here to guide you through each possibility, ensuring that your interests are always at the forefront.
Legal Action and Costs
Upfront Legal Costs
When we decide to take legal action, the initial investment is crucial. Upfront legal costs are a reality we cannot ignore. These costs cover court fees, filing charges, and other necessary expenses to initiate a lawsuit. Typically, these fees range from $600 to $700, depending on the jurisdiction of the debtor.
Litigation is a significant step, and it comes with its price tag. Before proceeding, we must weigh the potential recovery against these initial outlays. Here’s a quick breakdown of what to expect:
- Court costs
- Filing fees
- Possible attorney retainer fees
We must be strategic in our approach to legal action, considering the financial implications and the strength of our case.
Remember, if litigation does not result in recovery, the case will be closed, and you will owe nothing further to our firm or our affiliated attorney. This no-recovery, no-fee structure is designed to align our interests with yours, ensuring we are both invested in a successful outcome.
Rates for Collection
We understand the importance of clear, predictable pricing in financial disputes. Our rates are tailored to the volume and age of claims, ensuring competitiveness and fairness. For individual claims, the rates vary as follows:
- Accounts under 1 year: 30% of the amount collected.
- Accounts over 1 year: 40% of the amount collected.
- Accounts under $1000.00: 50% of the amount collected.
- Accounts placed with an attorney: 50% of the amount collected.
For bulk submissions of 10 or more claims, we offer reduced rates:
- Accounts under 1 year: 27% of the amount collected.
- Accounts over 1 year: 35% of the amount collected.
- Accounts under $1000.00: 40% of the amount collected.
These rates are designed to align our interests with yours; we only succeed when you do. It’s a partnership where your recovery is our priority.
We’re committed to transparency. No hidden fees, no surprises. Just straightforward percentages that reflect the effort and resources invested in your case.
