Our
experience has shown that the earlier you address past due
accounts, the more likely you are to get paid. So we have
designed our collection services around this fact. When you
turn your accounts over to us early, we are able to collect
faster, easier, and at a lower cost to you.
Once you have
selected a collection plan and provided us with your past due
accounts, we follow a three-phase process:
| Phase I:
Notification Letters |
Phase I is the
most efficient and least costly method to obtain payment, and
we have a very high success rate. Our letters are
professionally written and non-threatening. Sometimes, just
getting a notice from someone other than you is enough to
prompt your clients to pay. We handle all the mailing and
communication, and you are kept informed of real-time status .
You have the option to have your clients pay you directly or
send payments through us, and all payment records are recorded
.
If an account is
not paid in Phase I, it moves into Phase II. Phase II, also
called our investigative phase, involves actively calling your
clients to discuss payment options. Methods such as skip
tracing are used if necessary, and we have access to extensive
databases that help us trace relocations and find the contact
information needed to reach the debtor. As with all of our
services, our collection agents are tactful, courteous, and
professional when talking to your clients. Our goal is to
educate your clients on payment methods and make them aware of
the existence of past due obligations. Often, a quick
conversation with us is all that is needed to straighten out a
misunderstanding and get you paid.
| Phase III: Attorney
Escalation |
If all else
fails, we retain in-house attorneys in each of our offices.
These attorneys work exclusively for UNIPIC and for you. With
your approval, we can initiate legal proceedings to collect on
your accounts. Property liens, wage garnishments, and
judgments are a few of the options available to you. We
provide experienced attorneys and manage the legal process
from start to finish - saving you a great deal of time and
money. Phase III is very effective for large, high-value
accounts that have a significant impact on your
profitability.
Technical support
and customer service representatives are also available on
phone - giving you every support you need to stay informed and
be confident that your accounts are in good hands with
UNIPIC. |
