Business Debt Collection
A little debt is expected in any business, but too much debt can seriously damage your company’s ability to operate. If unresolved, it may lead to insolvency if not adequately managed. Debt collection is one of the essential functions of any business. It includes tracking down debtors for payment, negotiating debts, and taking legal action against those who refuse to pay. It is a crucial part of the overall business operation.
What is Business Debt Collection
Business debt collection is an important tool for businesses to protect themselves against unpaid debts. A business may also hire a debt collection agency to assist with the process. A debt collection law firm should have extensive experience in collecting from clients and specialized knowledge in the legal system. The process begins with tracking down the overdue accounts receivable. Once the outstanding amount is determined, a non-creditor collection agency will negotiate for a settlement with the debtor. However, if it fails to reach an agreement and the case goes to court then the business will have to file a court case against them.
Basic Organization of Business Debt Collection
There are three basic steps:
1. Finding the debtor and their accounts payable (AP) statement.
The business collection agency will use information such as a postal address, telephone number, online credit accounts, and numerous other ways to gather the necessary information to find the debtor. The agency will then have the debtor’s name and account numbers to send out a demand letter.
2. Reviewing the debtor’s AP statement for payment status.
The business collection agency will then determine if the debtor is current or overdue on their bills. If the debtor is no longer in business, the agency will contact them to discuss a payment plan.
3. Filing a lawsuit against the debtor if they have not paid.
Once all of the bills have been reviewed and a letter has been sent requesting payment with a 30-day deadline, the debt collection attorneys will then file suit against the debtor and attempt to agree with them. If they fail, they will start a legal process of going to court and obtaining a judgment against the debtors for what they owe the client.
Why Our Law Firm is Better than a Collections Agency
A law firm usually handles business debt collection. A law firm has many advantages over a collection agency. They specialize in the area of law, and they have an understanding of how to work within the legal system to obtain results. Collection agencies have a set formula for negotiation and do not handle court cases. They also do not have any legal experience.
A law firm is experienced enough to sue on your behalf or defend you in a case. You cannot do this independently without running the risk of being sued by the very people you are suing. A debt collection attorney can sue on your behalf, but only if you cannot do so. Also, only attorneys know the intricacies of what is needed for a case to go forward in court, and that is why they must handle most of the work.
