Recovery System for Non-Payment in Agricultural Product Exports
Initial Recovery Steps
Upon facing non-payment, we spring into action swiftly. Within 24 hours, our recovery process kicks off with a multi-pronged approach. We dispatch the first of four letters, initiate skip-tracing, and deploy our collectors to engage with debtors through calls, emails, and other communication channels. Our goal is to secure a resolution promptly, with daily attempts made in the initial 30 to 60 days.
Our collectors are relentless, pursuing every avenue to reach a settlement. If these efforts don’t yield results, we’re prepared to escalate to the next phase.
Here’s a snapshot of our initial recovery efforts:
- Letter Dispatch: Sending the first notice to the debtor.
- Skip-Tracing: Gathering the best financial and contact information.
- Collector Engagement: Daily attempts to communicate and resolve the issue.
Should these steps prove unsuccessful, we transition seamlessly to legal action. Our affiliated attorneys within the debtor’s jurisdiction take over, ensuring no time is lost. This structured approach maximizes the chances of recovery before moving to more drastic measures.
Legal Action Recommendations
When we’ve exhausted all initial recovery avenues, it’s time to consider the legal route. We must assess the debtor’s assets and the likelihood of recovery before proceeding. If the outlook is grim, we’ll advise closing the case, sparing you unnecessary expenses. However, if litigation seems viable, you’re at a crossroads.
Choose to withdraw, and you owe us nothing. Opt for legal action, and upfront costs will apply—typically $600-$700 for court and filing fees. Our affiliated attorney will then champion your cause, seeking full recompense.
Should litigation prove unsuccessful, rest assured, you will not be further indebted to us.
Our fee structure is clear and competitive, with rates varying based on claim age, amount, and volume. Here’s a snapshot:
| Claims Submitted | Accounts < 1 Year | Accounts > 1 Year | Accounts < $1000 | Attorney Placed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-9 | 30% | 40% | 50% | 50% |
| 10+ | 27% | 35% | 40% | 50% |
Remember, these rates are contingent on successful collection. We’re committed to navigating this complex terrain with you, ensuring clarity and support at every turn.
Collection Rates
Understanding our collection rates is crucial to evaluating the cost-effectiveness of pursuing debt recovery. We’ve structured our rates competitively, ensuring you get the best possible return on your efforts. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- For 1-9 claims, rates vary from 30% to 50% of the amount collected, depending on the age and size of the account.
- For 10 or more claims, the rates are slightly reduced, reflecting our commitment to supporting larger volume clients.
The more claims you submit, the more favorable the rates.
Remember, if litigation is recommended and you decide to proceed, upfront legal costs will apply. These are typically between $600 to $700, but this investment is only suggested when there’s a realistic chance of recovery.
Our transparent approach ensures that you are only advised to proceed with litigation when the likelihood of recovery justifies the additional expense. If all attempts fail, rest assured, you owe us nothing.
