    We provide all our clients with a highly competitive contingency fee, regardless of the size or age, based on the volume of business you entrust to us.

    There are NO contracts, monthly minimums, or an annual term required to use our service. Instead, we EARN your business each and every day by working harder to collect your delinquent accounts.

    Based on client input, we report new and updated delinquent account information to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion on a monthly basis.

    Accounts can be submitted via our website, sent electronically through secure email, and/or a FTP connection. We also accept accounts that are faxed or sent via standard USPS. When we receive accounts electronically, in either a standard CSV or a delimited file format, we can immediately place them into our system which ensures a faster turnaround.

    Client checks and statements are sent on the first day of each month. Your statement will come with an itemized remittance showing a breakdown of payments and account statuses.

    Clients can use a secure login to transmit payments using our online portal, email us the information, and/or call our office to talk with a live person. We actually answer our phones!
