Okay, so I’m continuing from last week’s post……see that post below this one…..These are the three things we do for our clients:
First, we don’t want the judgment creditor to take judgment against our client. All too often the defendants in these cases ignore the matter and don’t file a defence in time to avoid a default or quick judgment depending on the court. I have to get the case and begin negotiations before the plaintiff is in that time zone where he can enter default judgment. My goal is to negotiate an out of court settlement quickly so that my client does not have to file a defence and never gets judgment entered against them. That’s why it is so important I get the case as soon as or even before the defendant is even served in the matter.
Second, I want to save my client money! That’s the big benefit of using our service. By the time a creditor files suit to collect their money the account is usually 90 days to 365 days old. By now they have written the account off of their books and are really interested in getting what they can and moving on. My responsibility is to find the right balance between what that creditor will take as a settlement and what my client the debtor can afford to raise in payment. This is an art that requires an acute understanding of the legal avenues available the plaintiff and the collection vulnerabilities of my client. This is where my twenty five years in the credit and collection business pay off for my clients. I can’t give away any secrets here because I have to assume some of my adversaries are reading this blog as they do their research on me and my organization just as I do on them. The primary goal here is to save my client lots of money while reaching a settlement that everyone can go away happy with. So far, we are batting 93.5% success!
Third, we handle all communications with the creditor, collection agency or lawyer handling the case for the plaintiff. We are unemotional in our dealings with your creditors so we are able to quickly get to the meat of the matter so to speak. This takes the stress and worry out for our clients. They don’t like to receive calls or messages from collection agents or lawyers. The communications aspect also means it is our responsibility to make sure that all the loose ends are tied up and the agreement is legal and clearly notated and the necessary discontinuances etc are properly filed.
Yes, we do all these things and then only charge a percentage of the amount we save our clients….if we don’t save them money we don’t charge! Our clients only pay for success! Wouldn’t it be nice if everything you bought worked that way?
Hey, don’t read and dash….leave a comment to let me know you care….or don’t give a damn. And, watch for an update next week…….and feel free to follow our blog!
