Recovery System for Company Funds
Phase One
As we initiate Phase One, we hit the ground running. Within 24 hours of an account being placed, our team springs into action. The first of four letters is dispatched via US Mail, marking the start of our relentless pursuit.
We delve deep, skip-tracing and investigating to unearth the most current financial and contact information. Our collectors are tenacious, employing a barrage of communication tactics: phone calls, emails, text messages, faxes, and more. The goal is clear – to secure a resolution.
Daily attempts to reach debtors are standard for the first 30 to 60 days. It’s a rigorous process, but essential for fund recovery.
Should these efforts not yield the desired outcome, we seamlessly transition to Phase Two, escalating the case to our network of affiliated attorneys. This is where the stakes are raised, and the legal muscle flexes.
Our commitment is unwavering, and our methods are proven. We leave no stone unturned in the quest to recover what is rightfully yours. The recovery system we’ve honed is designed to maximize results while minimizing delay.
Phase Two
As we escalate our efforts, Phase Two kicks in with legal leverage. Our affiliated attorneys, armed with the specifics of your case, begin their pursuit. They draft and dispatch demand letters with the weight of their law firm’s letterhead behind them. This is followed by a series of persistent phone calls aimed at securing your payment.
- Immediate drafting of demand letters
- Persistent phone calls to the debtor
If these intensified efforts still don’t yield results, we prepare a detailed report. This outlines the challenges faced and our recommended course of action.
We stand by our commitment to recover what’s owed to you, navigating through the complexities and providing clear, actionable advice.
Phase Three
At the crossroads of Phase Three, we face a critical decision. If the debtor’s assets suggest recovery is unlikely, we advise closing the case, at no cost to you. Conversely, should litigation seem viable, the choice is yours. Opt out, and we part ways without fees; opt in, and legal costs ensue.
Litigation is a gamble, with upfront costs between $600 to $700. Should you commit, our affiliated attorney initiates legal proceedings to reclaim every penny owed, including filing expenses. Failure to recover funds means closure of the case, still without fees to us or our attorney.
Our commitment to transparency extends to our fee structure, ensuring you’re informed every step of the way.
