Initiating the Recovery Process: Phase One
Immediate Actions Post-Account Placement
Once we’ve placed an account for collection, we hit the ground running. Within 24 hours, our team dispatches the first of four letters to the debtor via US Mail. We understand the importance of immediacy in debt recovery, and we don’t waste a moment.
Our collectors engage in rigorous skip-tracing to unearth the most current financial and contact information. This ensures we’re not just knocking, but knocking on the right doors.
We’re persistent, not just with our letters, but with every tool at our disposal. Phone calls, emails, text messages, faxes—you name it, we’re on it. Our collectors make daily attempts to reach out to debtors, aiming for a resolution within the first 30 to 60 days. If this phase doesn’t yield results, we’re ready to escalate to Phase Two, involving our network of skilled attorneys.
Investigative Measures and Skip-Tracing
Once an account is placed with us, we leap into action. Skip-tracing is our first line of attack, deploying advanced tools to locate debtors who’ve gone off the radar. We’re not just looking for them; we’re analyzing their financial health and contact points. Our goal? To paint a comprehensive picture of the debtor’s situation.
We understand the nuances of the USA-UAE automotive trade and tailor our investigative approach accordingly. It’s not just about finding the debtor; it’s about understanding their capacity to pay. This insight drives our recovery strategy, ensuring we’re not chasing ghosts but viable leads.
- Immediate skip-tracing and financial analysis
- Customized approach for USA-UAE trade specifics
- Strategic recovery based on debtor’s profile
We’re relentless but strategic. Our investigative measures are designed to maximize the potential for recovery, ensuring every step we take is informed and effective.

Daily attempts to reach out are made during the initial 30 to 60 days, utilizing all available communication channels.
- Phone calls
- Emails
- Text messages
- Faxes
If these efforts do not yield the desired results, we escalate the matter to Phase Two, involving our network of affiliated attorneys. This transition is seamless and swift, ensuring no momentum is lost in the recovery process.
We stand firm in our commitment to recover your funds, adapting our strategies to the evolving situation and maintaining pressure on the debtor.
Our approach aligns with the three-phase system, which includes initial recovery steps, legal action, and tailored recommendations for successful recovery. We are dedicated to navigating the complexities of the USA-UAE automotive trade to maximize your chances of reclaiming what is rightfully yours.
Escalating to Legal Intervention: Phase Two
Transition to Attorney-Based Recovery
When we escalate to attorney-based recovery, the game changes. We’ve exhausted initial actions and now leverage the gravitas of legal representation. Our affiliated attorneys step in, drafting demand letters on law firm letterhead, signaling a serious shift in our approach.
- Immediate drafting of demand letters
- Persistent debtor contact via phone
- Escalation to legal correspondence
Our strategy is clear: apply pressure, maintain persistence, and prepare for potential litigation. We’re committed to recovering what’s owed to you.

Assessment and Recommendations for Further Action
After a meticulous review, we stand at a crossroads. If the likelihood of recovery is slim, we advise closing the case, incurring no fees. Conversely, should litigation seem promising, a decision looms.
Choosing not to litigate allows for claim withdrawal or continued standard collection efforts. Opting for legal action necessitates upfront costs, typically $600 to $700, subject to the debtor’s location.
Our fee structure is straightforward. For instance, accounts under a year old are charged at 30% of the amount collected, while those over a year are at 40%. Smaller accounts under $1000 incur a 50% rate, as do those requiring attorney involvement.
We must weigh the financial implications against the potential for recovery. Our competitive rates are designed to align with your success in reclaiming funds.

Deciding on Litigation: Phase Three
Evaluating the Viability of Recovery
We face a critical juncture when deciding if litigation is the right path. Our thorough investigation into the debtor’s assets and the surrounding facts of the case guides us. If recovery seems unlikely, we advise closing the case, incurring no cost to you.
However, should litigation appear viable, a decision looms. Opting out means no fees owed, with the option to continue standard collection efforts. Choosing litigation requires covering upfront legal costs, typically between $600 to $700. These costs are necessary for our affiliated attorney to initiate legal proceedings on your behalf.
Our commitment is to transparency in fees and the potential for recovery. We lay out all scenarios, ensuring you make an informed decision.
Our fee structure is competitive, with rates varying based on claim characteristics. For instance, accounts under a year old are charged at a lower rate than older accounts. The decision to litigate is not taken lightly, and we provide all necessary information to weigh the financial implications.

- Persistent collection activity as an alternative
Understanding the Litigation Recommendation
When we reach the crossroads of litigation, we’re faced with a critical decision. Our structured 3-phase Recovery System assesses the viability of debt recovery, guiding us to a clear path forward. If the odds are against us, we’ll advise to close the case, sparing you unnecessary costs. But if litigation seems promising, we lay out the steps and financial commitments required.
We’re transparent about the potential costs involved in litigation. You’ll be apprised of all upfront legal fees, which typically range from $600 to $700. These cover court costs and filing fees, essential for initiating legal proceedings.

Financial Implications of Legal Proceedings

Once we commit, our affiliated attorney springs into action, filing a lawsuit for all monies owed. But here’s the kicker: if litigation doesn’t pan out, you owe us nothing. That’s our commitment to you.

Understanding the Fee Structure
Competitive Collection Rates Explained

Our competitive collection rates are designed to align with your financial interests. We only succeed when you do; hence, our fees are contingent on recovery.
Our rates are structured to incentivize early resolution. For instance, accounts under one year in age are subject to a 30% fee on the amount collected, while older accounts incur a 40% fee.

Fee Variations Based on Claim Characteristics
When it comes to recovering unpaid bills, not all claims are created equal. The nature and age of the debt, as well as the amount owed, play a crucial role in determining the fee structure. For instance, newer accounts typically incur a lower collection rate compared to older ones, reflecting the increased difficulty in recovering aged debts.
Claim size also influences the fee. Smaller debts, especially those under $1000, often attract a higher percentage fee due to the disproportionate effort required relative to the amount recoverable. Conversely, submitting a larger volume of claims can result in more favorable rates, rewarding clients for bulk placements.
Here’s a quick breakdown of our fee structure based on claim characteristics:
- Accounts under 1 year: 30% (1-9 claims) or 27% (10+ claims) of the amount collected.
- Accounts over 1 year: 40% (1-9 claims) or 35% (10+ claims) of the amount collected.

When we escalate to attorney-based recovery, we’re transparent about the costs involved. Upfront legal costs for litigation are clear from the start. These may include court costs, filing fees, and other related expenses, typically ranging from $600 to $700, depending on the debtor’s jurisdiction.
