The Power of Attorney-Driven Debt Collection for Businesses Nationwide
The Power of Attorney-Driven Debt Collection for Businesses Nationwide
Choose a debt collection attorney if you need business-to-business or business-to-consumer debt collection. Your attorney plays a critical role in collecting debt and handles the collections appropriately, following the many laws outlined in the U.S. regarding collecting debts.
Advantages of Attorney-Driven Debt Recovery
Unlike some collection agencies, attorneys abide by the law. Depending on a collection agency can cost you in many ways. Agencies earned a bad reputation for breaking U.S. collections laws, like those discussed in this article from Consumer Finance. Collections agencies might phone debtors constantly, harass them, berate them, and lie to them. All of those things violate U.S. law and reflect poorly on your business because you hired them. Collections attorneys specializing in nationwide debt collection know the laws and follow them. At National Collections Lawyers, our consumer debt collections work well because we combine our education and experience with knowledge of U.S. law. We do what’s needed to recover the debt owed to you, and we do so legally and morally.
Collecting debts requires legal instruments, such as collections letters sent via certified mail and strong, yet proper wording in these letters. Hiring an attorney specializing in collecting consumer debts gets you the right words in a legally enforceable form. Why waste time with messages that don’t work? When collecting debts, wording means everything and so does a signed receipt where the consumer or business representative receives your message that you owe them money. According to Business News Daily, a lawyer specializing in collecting debts understands the methods used by consumers and businesses to try to avoid paying. Their knowledge benefits you since it helps you collect what a person or corporation owes you.
By an attorney who specializes in collecting debts, you skip the middleman. That’s all a collection agency is – a proverbial middleman. By hiring a lawyer directly, you obtain quality legal advice and actionable legal measures. When agencies fail to recover monies owed to a company, they have to consult an attorney. You can skip that step by hiring one directly. When consumers or other businesses owe you money, you need legal advice. It makes sense to pursue the debts owed to you in a uniform, legal manner. Only an attorney specializing in collecting debt can provide you with expert legal advice and file lawsuits for you.
Why waste time with methods that won’t hold up in court? You must be able to document every contact you make with a debtor in writing. A court of law will ask to see proof that you asked for payment, hence sending letters via certified mail, instead of email, text messages, or other types of messaging. Why? Today’s technologies empower both the sender and the receiver of a message. While you might think that sending a daily weekly or hourly reminder of a payment due is a good idea, it isn’t. Your constant badgering could be considered a violation of the U.S. legal code.
Those constant messages could also cause you other problems because most email and text apps/programs recognize daily messages as spam. When your business gets tagged as a spammer, all of its messages get automatically dumped in the spam folders, so your debtors may not see them. When they say in court that they never received a message from you, they may speak the truth. Their email program or telephone service provider may have marked your constant messages as spam and stopped delivering them to the users’ box. Users may stop getting your messages because you badgered someone. This speaks volumes as to why you should not try to handle things yourself or hire a debt collection agency. Instead, hire a debt collection attorney.
Choose Your Attorney By Specialty
Because debt types vary, so can collection cases. Choose your attorney based on the type of debt owed. If you need to collect a commercial debt, use an experienced attorney like National Collections Lawyers. Because debt types vary, so do applicable laws. An experienced attorney recovers a business-to-business debt differently than a consumer debt to a business. While some attorneys specialize in corporate collections, others deal with consumers. Finding the right lawyer for your needs can prove imperative to collecting the debt owed to you.
