Even though a debt collection law firm brings suit  to collect on a past due account receivable, a debtor will hire an attorney to assert a defense to paying the past due invoices. Sometimes the  debt collection defense is legitimate and there is a dispute to paying the past due invoices. Other times collection attorneys find that the defenses asserted our no more than a delay tactic to buy the debtor more time.  In Florida before a case goes to trial, cases must be mediated.

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 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.

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.
