Collecting Debt in December – Collection Attorney Can Help

Debt Collection -Recovery  in December – Not the Most Wonderful Time of the Year to Collect Money

December brings the holidays and with it small business owners not only having to pay their suppliers, but also have the added pressure of having to buy presents for their friends and families. Our debt collection law firm has noticed a trend that many of the companies who we make collection calls to attempt to recover our clients’ past due account receivable   overwhelmingly have the same outcome – “We really do not have the money to pay this invoice and/or  open account.”  Our collection attorneys have noticed that cash flow for most small businesses is on the decline making it harder for our clients to secure timely payments on their account receivable.

Our collection attorney law firm believes that in most cases it takes a collection lawsuit to get the attention of your customer. Until a lawsuit is brought to collect on your company’s open account receivable, your customer may be out buying holiday presents for their friends and family, rather than paying your company on past due invoices.  When it comes to collection money, our collection lawyers believe that time is not on your side.  The more legal pressure that is put on your customer to pay past due invoices, the greater are the chances to recover the money due and owing to your company.  A collection agency is not always the best option to collect money.

Collection agencies are not licensed to practice debt collection law. A collection agency typically will make collection calls and send a few collection letters to your customer to collect your money. If the collection agency is not successful, they then have to charge you a higher contingency fee and send the case  to a collection lawyer.
