A Quick Note About Collection Fees:
We do not add our fees to the balance owed. Our goal is to make the best of a difficult situation and maximize your recovery.
Some collection agencies claim they can add their fees to the debt and collect those charges from the debtor. In reality, this is often an unrealistic expectation.
Attempting to increase the debtor's obligation significantly can create another obstacle to resolution and give them an excuse to delay or avoid payment altogether.
In most cases, it is far better to absorb our fee and recover the majority of the debt than to pursue an inflated balance and risk writing off the entire account after a lengthy collection effort.
Many agencies advertise that they will add their fees to the debt, but frequently those fees are never actually collected from the debtor. The client ultimately ends up paying the collection fee anyway, despite the initial representation.
Our approach is focused on realistic recoveries, practical solutions, and achieving the best possible net result for our clients.
