Recovery System for Company Funds
Phase One
We hit the ground running with our three-phase Recovery System. Within the first 24 hours of initiating Phase One, we take decisive action:
- A series of four letters is dispatched to the debtor, starting with the first via US Mail.
- We conduct thorough skip-tracing and investigations to secure the most accurate financial and contact details.
- Our collectors engage relentlessly, utilizing calls, emails, texts, faxes, and more to reach a resolution.
Expect our team to make daily attempts to contact the debtor during the initial 30 to 60 days. Our goal is to secure a resolution swiftly and efficiently.
If these efforts don’t yield results, we don’t waste time. We escalate to Phase Two, where our affiliated attorneys step in, equipped to apply legal pressure within the debtor’s jurisdiction. It’s about swift action and clear communication, ensuring we explore strategies for securing payments effectively.
Phase Two
As we escalate our efforts in Phase Two, we intensify the pressure on debtors. Our affiliated attorneys, wielding the weight of legal letterhead, demand payment. Persistence is key; we’re on the phone, drafting letters, and pushing for resolution.
- The attorney sends the initial demand letter.
- Follow-up calls are made to the debtor.
- A series of letters are dispatched if necessary.
If these efforts don’t yield results, we’re transparent about it. We’ll send you a detailed letter, outlining the challenges and our recommended course of action. It’s a strategic pivot, preparing us for the decisive Phase Three.
We’re committed to clear communication. If Phase Two doesn’t break the deadlock, we’ll guide you through the next steps, ensuring you’re informed and ready to make the best decision for your company.
Phase Three
At the culmination of our recovery efforts, we face a critical juncture. We must assess the viability of further action based on a comprehensive review of the debtor’s assets and the surrounding facts of the case. If the likelihood of recovery is slim, we’ll advise closing the case, incurring no additional costs to you or our firm.
Should litigation appear to be a promising avenue, the choice is yours. Opting out means no further obligations, while moving forward requires covering upfront legal expenses, typically between $600 to $700. These fees are necessary for filing a lawsuit to reclaim the full amount due, including filing costs.
