Finding The Best To Collect

By Malik Toppins


My professional career has been filled with many collection agencies from many different states. From the many different organizations that I have worked for, I learned a lot about the components that will make a good collection agency and the components that will make up a bad collection agency. I feel that some of the lessons I have learned will benefit anyone who is interested in working with a debt collection agency.

One of the best lessons I have learned about debt collection companies is location, location, location. The actual location of the collection agency is not the important thing, but the location of where that collection firm is authorized to perform their work in is. There are many debt collection agencies that are restricted to work within certain locales. The best option would be to find a collection agency that is authorized to collect in the most different locales possible.

Any firm that focuses on ethical practices will also be a good option when deciding on the ideal debt collection firm for you. It is easy to perform collection procedures illegally and is not a good idea to associate with any firm is not open about their collection practices. A reputable company will probably utilize a proprietary blend of emails, faxes, letters, phone calls and private investigators to receive overdue funds.

My experiences with the many firms I worked for have also taught me to listen to your instincts when choosing the right firm to work with. Your gut feeling about the quality of the firm will probably go a long way. I've learned that there are many collection agencies that are not concerned with generating a relationship and trust with their clients. This should be an automatic warning for you. A good company is built on the principles of securing quality customer relationships. Any firm that is not concerned about building such relationships should be passed over.

I have seen the effect that collecting any unpaid funds can have on everyday people. The collection company should make the collection task easier and become a partner you can rely on.
