Recovery System for Company Funds
Initial Debt Collection Process
Upon initiating the recovery system, swift action is taken to secure company funds. Within 24 hours, a multi-channel approach is deployed, involving letters, skip-tracing, and persistent communication attempts. The goal is to achieve a resolution swiftly and efficiently.
- The first of four letters is dispatched.
- Comprehensive debtor information is gathered.
- Daily contact attempts are made for 30 to 60 days.
The initial phase is critical; it sets the tone for the recovery process and aims to resolve the matter without escalating to legal action.
If this phase does not yield results, the process transitions to Phase Two, involving our network of attorneys. They continue the pursuit with legal letters and calls. The strategy is clear: resolve amicably or prepare for firmer steps.
Legal Action Recommendations
When the initial debt collection process fails to yield results, legal action becomes a necessary consideration. Careful evaluation of the debtor’s assets and the case facts is crucial before proceeding. If the likelihood of recovery is low, we advise case closure, sparing you unnecessary expenses.
Should litigation be deemed viable, you face a critical decision. Opting out means no further costs, while proceeding requires covering upfront legal fees, typically between $600 to $700. These fees encompass court costs, filing fees, and are essential for filing a lawsuit on your behalf.
The choice to litigate is significant; it involves not just potential financial recovery, but also additional investments in terms of time and resources.
