Debt Collection Agencies

Debt collection agencies are often a viable option for receiving payment on overdue bills. Here you can earn how debt collection agencies work and what to look for in reputable debt collection agencies.

Using outside debt collection agencies to pursue delinquent accounts may seem distasteful , sometimes even downright objectionable. You may be picturing Tony Soprano, baseball bat in hand, using unprofessional means to harass struggling debtors.

In reality, for many years the debt collections industry has boasted high-quality, professional debt collection agencies that have learned how to partner with clients and represent them in a manner consistent with the client's values - without damaging the reputations of the businesses they collect from. Using professional debt collections agencies can actually help your business grow.

Shopping For Debt Collection Agencies

When looking for debt collection agencies to serve your business start by asking for some references. Debt collection agencies offer different fee structures. Most debt collection agencies work your accounts for a percentage of what they collect. Average commissions run between 30 percent and 50 percent, but sometimes they charge a low flat fee per account.

Usually the larger, national debt collection agencies flat rates, charging you a single fee per account turned over. This method brings at least two advantages:

1} The debt collections agencies give every account equal treatment. They have no incentive to "skim" the larger balances with a bigger pay-off for the debt collector.

2} You can feel more comfortable turning over larger accounts to these debt collection agencies, since it won't cost you any more than the smaller ones.

Remember, your ability to partner effectively with debt collection agencies depends on how soon you turn the account over and how professional they will represent your business when collecting for you.
