Recovery System for Electronics Manufacturers
Phase One
Upon initiating Phase One, swift action is taken to signal seriousness and intent to recover unpaid invoices. Within 24 hours, a series of four letters begins its journey to the debtor, marking the start of the recovery process. The debtor’s information undergoes skip-tracing and thorough investigation to ensure the best contact and financial details are on hand.
Our collector’s dedication is evident as they engage in daily attempts to reach a resolution through various communication channels, including phone calls and emails. This intensive 30 to 60-day effort is designed to yield results or transition smoothly into Phase Two.
If these persistent efforts do not lead to a satisfactory resolution, the case escalates to our network of affiliated attorneys. Here’s a quick overview of the initial actions:
- First debtor contact letter sent via US Mail
- Comprehensive skip-tracing and investigation
- Daily communication attempts by our collector
The goal is clear: resolve the matter efficiently before moving to the legal complexities of Phase Two.
Phase Two
Upon escalation to Phase Two, the focus shifts to legal leverage. An attorney within our network takes the helm, initiating a series of actions designed to prompt payment:
- Drafting and dispatching demand letters on law firm letterhead.
- Persistent telephone outreach to the debtor by the attorney or their staff.
If these intensified efforts do not yield results, a detailed analysis of the case is conducted. A communication outlining the complexities encountered and our recommended course of action for Phase Three is sent to you.
In this phase, the combination of legal correspondence and direct contact aims to create a sense of urgency and seriousness about the debt, increasing the likelihood of recovery.
Should Phase Two prove unsuccessful, the path forward is clear and two-fold:
- Recommend case closure if recovery is unlikely, incurring no fees.
- Advise litigation if the debtor has assets, with associated costs detailed upfront.
Phase Three
At the crossroads of Phase Three, electronics manufacturers face a critical decision. If the investigation reveals low recovery prospects, the recommendation is to close the case, incurring no fees. Conversely, if litigation is advised, manufacturers must weigh the costs against potential recovery.
Litigation entails upfront legal fees, typically between $600 to $700. These cover court costs, filing fees, and other related expenses. Should you opt for legal action, a detailed lawsuit will be filed to reclaim all owed monies, including filing costs.
Should litigation fail, rest assured, no further fees will be owed to our firm or the affiliated attorney.
Here’s a quick glance at our fee structure for recovered funds:
| Claims Quantity | Accounts < 1 Year | Accounts > 1 Year | Accounts < $1000 | Attorney Placed Claims |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-9 | 30% | 40% | 50% | 50% |
| 10+ | 27% | 35% | 40% | 50% |
Remember, the choice to proceed with legal action or to continue standard collection efforts remains yours. Our competitive rates are designed to adapt to the volume and age of claims, ensuring a tailored approach to your recovery process.
