Remember a collection agency is not licensed to practice law.  A Florida collection law firm also sends collection letters and makes collection calls demanding payment of the past due account.

Collection Lawyers Versus Collection Agencies

When collecting debt, your company should be aware of the differences between using a collection agency to collect your company’s money versus using the collection lawyers at a debt collection law firm. Collection agencies are very limited in what they can legally do to attempt to collect past due accounts. Collection agencies can only send demand letters and make debt collection phone calls. A collection lawyer not only is able to make collection calls to recover past due accounts, but can send demand letters for payment.   The power of a collection lawyer signing a demand letter for payment has a much bigger impact than a debtor receiving a demand letter from a collection agency.  When a debtor receives a letter from a collection lawyer, they are made aware that litigation may be imminent to collect on the debt.

The debt collection law firm is able to file a lawsuit to collect past due accounts. The collection lawyer will then be able to either settle the account or secure a judgment for the amount that is owed.

Hurricane Irma – Harder to Collect Money in Florida

Collecting Money Owed After Hurricane Irma

Hurricane Irma has brought the Florida economy to a halt. Pretty much the only businesses working at the moment are those working to clean up the debris, tree removal companies and restoration services for properties affected by the hurricane. Whether businesses can’t get employees into work, the office is damaged or no one will be wanting to purchase their products, a lot of businesses are stuck in the mud. The strain on small businesses may make it harder for your company to collect money from customers to whom you have extended credit. Hurricane Irma has caused many businesses to board up and close. This will obviously have an economic impact on everyone and may make it more difficult for your customer to make payments that are due because of cash flow issues. Once the storm clears, and things get back to ” business as usual” in Florida, it is important for your business to stay on top of their collection accounts.
