Many debtors will often pay a collection agency even though they have never cooperated with the original credit. They realize you are serious, they don’t want a damaged credit rating, or they worry about the possibility of going to court. A collection agency often has resources and tools at its’ disposal that the original creditor does not have. Plus, collection agencies do not spend time juggling current accounts with past due accounts. They can concentrate on collecting your bad accounts receivable.

The short answer is, it depends. Many accounts are simply uncollectible, as the debtor may skip-out on purpose, file a bankruptcy, pass away, or just refuse to pay. The age of the debt can play a role in how long it takes to collect, as well. If the debt is old, and/or the debtor requires backup paperwork it can delay collection efforts.

Valid debts incurred by your business that you can substantiate. We primarily focus on medical collections. On small accounts (Under $25) we will not spend a lot of time on phone calls and letters if we do not receive payment fairly quickly.
