Collection Lawyers  Help Your Company With Debt Recovery

Collection lawyers can help your company recover bad debt.  Collection lawyers are able to send demand letters to your customer making it clear that if payment is not made, the debt collection law firm may start suit to recover your money. Commercial collection agencies are not licensed to practice debt collection law. A collection agency must send the account receivable to a collection lawyer, as a result the collection agency typically charges your company a higher contingency fee to collect the past due account.

Collection Lawyers Differ From Collection Agencies

A collection lawyer is able to provide your company legal strategies to attempt recovery of the debt. Collection lawyers can call your company and determine the best legal course of action to take to attempt collection of your company’s money. There are many options a debt collection lawyer can consider. Once a judgment is entered against your customer for not paying its invoices, the debt collection lawyer has powerful tools to enforce the judgment. The collection lawyer can through post judgment discovery discover assets that may be subject to garnishment and/or execution.

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.

Collection Law Firm Florida

Collection law firm – Collection Attorney

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.

We Are Not a Collection Agency

When you call our debt collection law firm, you will be able to speak to our collection attorney to devise a debt collection strategy that best fits the needs of your company and takes into account the financial position of  the customer who owes your company money. Collection agencies are not licensed to practice law. A collection agency can only make debt collection calls and send collection letters demanding payment.

Collection Agencies Are One Dimensional – Call Our Collection Attorney

Ask us how our attorney debt collection law firm differs from a commercial collection agency. Yes, collection agencies have a purpose, but when in December collecting money is not the most wonderful time of the year, let our debt collection lawyers guide you in establishing  the best strategy to help your company move into the new year  with a debt collection strategy that  is right for your company. Let our collection law firm help you recover ore money in the months and years ahead.

 Collection Agency  or Debt Collection Law Firm

As the economy continues to struggle, our debt collection attorneys continue to contact businesses attempting to collect money on past due accounts. Our collection lawyers are finding many honest business owners admitting to owing the debt, but because of their own personal cash flow struggles are not able to pay the debt in a lump sum payment. Our debt collection law firm is entering into many  debt repayment plans.  Creditors should keep in mind that until a matter is in in suit, there is no real teeth in the debt repayment plan. Many times, our collection attorney will recommend starting suit to recover money and then enter into a repayment plan secured by a court order.

Collection agencies are unable to start suit to collect money. A collection agency is not licensed to practice debt collection law. Collection agencies send out a series of collection letters and then attempt to collect money by making repeated phone calls.   Many times a collection agency will try to collect the account for an extended period of time when in reality a debt collection attorney  will  be more effective. 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.

Use a Florida Collection Attorney to Collect Money

Once judgment is entered, there are many different post judgment options that our collection attorney will discuss with you. Simply a collection agency   is limited in what it can do to collect money. Collection agencies do have their purpose, but creditors typically find that placing an account for collection with a collection attorney has many advantages  over placing an account for collection with a commercial collection agency.

Florida Collection Agencies Differ From Florida Collection Law Firms

Many creditors continue to send past due accounts to Florida collection agencies.  Florida collection agencies send demand letters for payment to your customers that owe money.  A collection agency can make debt collection phone calls to attempt to recover   your company’s past due accounts.  Many creditors come to our debt collection law firm after their account has been with a collection agency.  What our collection attorney finds after reviewing the delinquent account is that a collection agency holds on to the past due account for too long.   Florida collection agencies loss profit when they need to forward your collection account to a debt collection law firm. The reason is that the collection agency has to split the contingent collection fee with the debt collection lawyer.

Florida Collection Agencies and  Fictitious Collection Agency  Names

Our law firm is not a Florida collection agency. Florida collection agencies  are not licensed to practice law. We see many Florida collection agencies take on  fictitious names that  lead not only companies to believe they are a Florida debt collection law firm, but  deceptively try to lead your customers that they are  collection attorneys  licensed to practice debt collection law. By way of example, a Florida collection agency will take on the fictitious name   Jones, Williams and Smith. The Florida collection agency then instructs their debt collectors to make collection calls stating they are with the firm of  Jones, Williams and Smith.  That is a highly deceptive practice misleading your customers  who are in collection to believe they are being contacted by debt collection attorneys from a Florida debt recovery law firm.

Collecting Money in Florida – Collection Agency – Florida Collection Attorney

In past blogs, we have discussed the difference between using a Florida commercial collection agency rather than a Florida debt collection attorney. 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.

Debt collection Law Firm Florida

Florida collection law firm

A  debt collection law firm contacting your customer first to make demand for payment, has a bigger impact than your customer receiving a collection letter from a commercial collection agency.  A debt collection lawyer  after sending a demand letter  and calling your customer demanding payment, can then recommend that a lawsuit be started to recover the money that is owed to your company.

Florida Debt Recovery Law Firm

Once a lawsuit is started to recover your money, your company now has greater control over the debt collection process.  Your customer will either recognize the debt and attempt to make payment arrangements with our office – hire an attorney, if there is a legitimate dispute to the debt or ignore the debt collection lawsuit. If the lawsuit is ignored, your company would be entitled to have a default judgment entered against your customer for the amount of the open invoices, costs and interest as allowed under Florida Law.

Florida Collection Attorneys – Lawyers

To learn more about the debt collection process and about how our Florida collection attorneys may be able to help your company recovery its money, we encourage you to contact us and ask to speak to one of our collection attorneys. Working together, we will devise a debt recovery strategy that is just right for your company.

 Collection Agency Litigation Departments Forward Claims from their Collection Agencies

A collection agency is not licensed to practice debt collection law. Collection agencies set up departments in their collection agency to forward accounts for collection of past due account receivables to commercial collection attorneys.  Our debt collection firm has established a division that gives credit managers the opportunity to forego using a collection agency and send their accounts for collection directly to our commercial debt collection law firm.

AttorneyDemandLetters.com  May Save You Money  When You Use An Attorney Debt  Collection Service Instead of a Commercial Collection Agency

AttorneyDemandLetters.com was established to offer credit managers a low cost solution to paying high collection agency contingent fees. Just like collection agencies our collection lawyers will draft a demand letter for payment.  In addition, we offer an attorney telephone demand service to let your customers know that your company is serious about collection past due accounts that are due.  Collection agencies typicaly charge between thirty – forty percentage contingency fees.  With our flat fee service, you may save thousands of dollars using this debt collection service instead of utilizing a collection agency.

Collection Agencies  May  Not Be As Effective

Once your customer sees that you have retained a law firm to assist your company collect past due debt, the debtor will know that if arrangements are not made with your company for payment, litigation may be imminent.  Today, most debtors recognize that a collection agency cannot bring suit.  Collection agencies rely on commercial collection attorneys to bring suit on behalf of their collection agency clients.  The collection agency in effect is acting as a middleman. As a result, you end up paying a higher contingent fee.    By cutting out the collection agency you are eliminating the middle man and will save on contingency fees.

Collection Agency Collection Attorney Software

Whether you are a collection agency or a collection attorney in order to properly manage your work flow in a debt collection setting it is important to have debt collection software. Collection agencies and commercial collection law firms typically have a high volume of debt collection files. To manage these files without the assistance of a debt collection software program would almost be unheard of in the debt collection industry.

Our commercial collection law firm uses a web based software called Casetracker.   Casetracker software allows our debt collection professionals track thousands of commercial debt collection cases. Because it is web based it allows not only our commercial debt recovery staff but also our commercial debt collection clients to log in   from anywhere there is a web browser, including smart phones, to gain access to their files.

Collection Agencies and Collection Attorneys Use Debt Collection Software

Casetracker has different modules in place   to help manage the work flow. Our debt collectors have a different module from our customer service representatives. Each collection file maintains a separate accounting section so that when funds are collected from debtors, clients are easily able to track the amount collected, the contingent collection fee that our collection lawyers will retain and then the net proceeds of the collection that will be remitted back to the client.

Collection Law Firm

Our commercial debt collection law firm was first introduced to Casetracker by a Florida commercial collection agency that had been using the software for several years.  Collection agencies have some different needs when it comes to debt collection software but, the similarities between what a commercial collection law firm and a commercial collection agency do are not that different. Casetracker was able to customize our debt collection software to our needs as we did not need some of the features that a commercial collection agency would utilize.

Collection Agencies Use Demand Letters

Collection agencies have been referring their collection agency accounts to our commercial collection law firm early in their debt collection process. In previous blog posts we have discussed the difference between a collection agency and a collection lawyer. There has been a lot in the news about collection agencies, With the economy slowly recovering businesses are starting to extend credit again. The result is that there are more collection accounts that may need to the assistance of a third party debt collector. The client needs to decide whether to send the account to a commercial collection agency or a collection attorney.

When the client has many small balance accounts that are past due, sending those collection accounts to a collection agency may make sense.  A commercial collection agency is not a collection attorney and not license to practice debt collection law. Collection agencies have systems in place for handling huge volumes of claims and can send multiple demand letters for payment and make many debt collection phone calls. However, once a matter is not able to be collected a collection agency must send the account to a collection law firm to pursue further debt collection activities.

Collection Agencies Refer Their Debt Collection Files from Their Collection Agency to Our Debt Collection Law Firm

We have been discussing the differences between a debt collection law firm and commercial collection agency in several past articles on our debt collection blog. The first thing that our collection law firm emphasizes to our clients who seek our counsel in how to collect on past due collection accounts is that collection agencies are not licensed to practice law.

Collection agencies are limited in the means and methods available to the collection agency in attempting to recover past due accounts.

A typical collection agency will send out a series of collection letters and then make repeated phone calls. In these tough economic times, that usually is not enough. Most businesses today have very tight cash flow and phone calls and letters from a collection agency may not give the debtor enough incentive to make payments to your company first.

When you engage a debt collection law firm instead of utilizing commercial collection agencies, you know put the power of the imminent threat of legal action behind your demand for payment on the past due account. It is true that the cash flow of a business presented to a collection agency when they are attempting to collect a debt will be the same as presented to the debt collection law firm but, once a debtor is served with a summons and complaint from a collection attorney, the timetables for payment change.
