| Collection Services Once
an account has aged past 120 days more than 80% of your in
house effectiveness to recover that debt is exhausted. SR2
realizes this fact and as a result has developed a Three
Phase method of collections. Once your staff has identified
a slow or nonpaying account, usually after no more than 3
to 4 demands for payment, we recommend that you assign the
account for collection with us. By doing so you receive the
following benefits.
- Reduction in in house costs
- Increased recovery rate
- Reduced collection costs
Phase I: Validation Phase (Written
Demands)
Phase I consists of a series of psychologically
designed contacts that provides a client with the highest
recovery rate possible, diplomacy, and controlled cost while
adding the impact of a third party. During this phase you
receive either payment or we will identify the intent of
the debtor earlier. At your option we will instruct your
debtor to pay you directly or you can have them send
money to us. Once your debtor has paid we will, at your
option send them a Thank You letter at no additional
charge.
Phase II: Investigative Phase
For those accounts that have not
paid in Phase I, they are transferred to Phase II. During
this phase of the collection process the account is assigned
to a professional collector for intensive telephone follow
up. As with all of our services, our collection staff is
professional and respectful when negotiating with your debtor.
Our goal is to affect a settlement arrangement in the least
amount of time for our clients while providing your debtor
with the highest degree of dignity possible. SR2 maintains
a complete skip-tracing department for those debtors that
you are unable to locate.
Phase III: Legal Phase
Should it be necessary, SR2 maintains
a complete legal department. Unlike other agencies our attorneys
work exclusively for our clients. At your option and should
criteria for suit be met we will initiate litigation on your
behalf. We will advance all court costs, service and process
fees and any other fees necessary to obtain and exercise
a judgment. This final Phase provides substantial recovery
of funds thought to be non recoverable.
In the event that
an account is still mot recovered we will report the account
to credit.
At any Phase in the collection process
you have continuous access to your accounts via eCollect.
We will keep you informed of all communication and progress
that we are making on your behalf. You may also communicate
to us as well regarding any of your accounts. At SR2 we realize
that communication is the key to successful recovery.
Technical
support and customer service are also available telephonically
thus providing our clients with every tool to be in constant
contact with SR2.
