Who can recommend a good collections company? - GoFuckYourself.com

[Brian] · 07-16-2004, 03:11 PM

We can pursue customers ourselves, but the time involved is a bit too much. Having said that though, we'd be reluctant to give up something like 50% to a collections co. -- anyone have good experience with a firm?

What kind of collections? What kind of proof of debt do you have?

And what $ amounts

FINE FINE I'LL PAY!

If you were in Canada I would recommend the guys Robin's uses. Those fuckers are relentless. Almost getting me to pay some of my parking tickets.

Collections for people that default on deferred payment plans. I have their billing information obviously, and proof of receipt of the item w/ UPS signature confirmation, etc.

I normally refer them to my Uncle, if you know what I mean

I turn all my deadbeats over to Dunn & Bradstreet. I think their cut is 25%. They're pretty effective.

For domestic claims, I've seen rates of about 20%. Cross-border debts I've seen Canada/US upwards of 35-40%.

Good info thanks

Dun & Bradstreet seems to charge a 'list price' of $15/$25, but I don't yet know what the means exactly

That can't be the charge for every letter sent out I hope ...

To be honest, I've never heard of a list price. I've been dealing with them for several years & have even attended several of their seminars. I've got upwards of $100k in debtor accounts with them right now and am unaware of being charged a list price fee.

There's a woman there at D&B RMS, Mary, who is very helpful to whom you could speak. Scott is also another good one. Unfortunately I'm home now so I don't have the # handy.

Thanks!
