Understanding the Recovery System for Company Funds
The 3-phase Recovery System
We’ve honed a robust 3-phase Recovery System to ensure the retrieval of company funds in the USA-Spain pharmaceutical trade. Phase One kicks off within 24 hours of account placement. It’s a blitz of communication: letters, calls, emails, and more, all designed to secure a swift resolution.
If this initial surge doesn’t yield results, we escalate to Phase Two. Here, the case is handed over to an affiliated attorney within the debtor’s jurisdiction. The attorney’s letterhead and persistent calls add legal weight, pressing for payment.
In the event of continued non-payment, we’re prepared to advise on the final phase. It’s a critical juncture where we either recommend closure or proceed with litigation.
Our approach is systematic, with each phase building on the last, ensuring every avenue is explored before escalating the matter. Here’s a snapshot of our initial actions:
- Send the first of four letters via US Mail
- Conduct skip-tracing and investigations
- Make daily contact attempts for 30 to 60 days
Should these efforts not suffice, we’re ready with legal reinforcements to uphold your financial interests.
Phase One: Initial Actions
Within the first 24 hours of initiating Phase One, we spring into action. Our team sends out the initial letter, kick-starting the recovery process. We don’t stop there; we employ skip-tracing to unearth the most current financial and contact details of the debtors. Daily attempts to reach a resolution are made through a mix of phone calls, emails, text messages, and faxes.
Our goal is clear: to secure a resolution swiftly and efficiently. If these efforts don’t yield results within 30 to 60 days, we’re ready to escalate to Phase Two.
Here’s a snapshot of our initial actions:
- Sending the first of four letters via US Mail
- Conducting thorough skip-tracing
- Making persistent contact attempts
These steps are designed to maximize the chances of recovery without delay. Should these measures fall short, we’re prepared to take the legal route.
Phase Two: Legal Actions
After exhausting initial recovery efforts, we pivot to the legal battlefield. Legal action is a significant step, and it’s not taken lightly. We weigh the debtor’s assets and the facts of the case before recommending litigation. If the odds are not in our favor, we advise closing the case, sparing you unnecessary expenses.
When litigation is the chosen path, you face a decision. Opting out means no further costs; you can either withdraw the claim or continue with standard collection activities. Choosing to litigate requires covering upfront legal costs, typically between $600 to $700. These fees empower our affiliated attorney to aggressively pursue what’s owed to you.
Our commitment is clear: if litigation doesn’t yield results, you owe us nothing. We stand by this promise, ensuring your trust in our process.
Our rates are competitive, structured to align with your claim’s specifics. Here’s a snapshot of our fee structure:
-
For 1-9 claims:
- Accounts under 1 year old: 30%
- Accounts over 1 year old: 40%
- Accounts under $1000: 50%
- Accounts with an attorney: 50%
-
For 10+ claims:
- Accounts under 1 year old: 27%
- Accounts over 1 year old: 35%
- Accounts under $1000: 40%
- Accounts with an attorney: 50%
Transparency in fees is crucial for us, ensuring you’re informed every step of the way.
Recommendations and Costs
Recommendations for Recovery
When we face delays in payment, our collective approach must be strategic and informed. We recommend assessing the debtor’s assets and the likelihood of recovery before deciding on further action. If the prospects seem dim, it’s prudent to consider closing the case to avoid unnecessary expenses.
Litigation should be a calculated decision. If we choose this path, we must be prepared to cover upfront legal costs. These typically range from $600 to $700, depending on the jurisdiction. Here’s a quick breakdown of potential costs:
- Court costs
- Filing fees
- Attorney fees
We must weigh the costs against the potential recovery carefully. If litigation proves unsuccessful, we can close the case without additional fees to our firm or affiliated attorney.
Our rates are competitive and vary based on the number of claims and their age. Here’s a concise summary:
- 1-9 claims, under 1 year: 30%
- 1-9 claims, over 1 year: 40%
- 1-9 claims, under $1000: 50%
- 10+ claims, under 1 year: 27%
- 10+ claims, over 1 year: 35%
- 10+ claims, under $1000: 40%
These rates reflect the percentage of the amount collected. Deciding on litigation is a significant step, and we must proceed with a clear understanding of the associated costs and our chances of success.
Costs and Fees
When we consider the financial implications of recovery, we must be upfront about the potential costs. Litigation is not free, and if we decide to proceed, you’ll need to cover upfront legal costs, including court costs and filing fees, typically ranging from $600 to $700. These are necessary to initiate a lawsuit on your behalf.
Our rates are competitive and tailored to the volume of claims. For instance, for 1 to 9 claims, accounts under a year old are charged at 30% of the amount collected, while older accounts or those under $1000 incur a 50% fee. Larger volumes of claims can reduce these rates significantly.
It’s essential to weigh the costs against the potential recovery. A decision to litigate should balance the upfront investment against the likelihood of successful collection.
Here’s a quick breakdown of our fee structure:
| Number of Claims | Accounts < 1 Year | Accounts > 1 Year | Accounts < $1000 | Attorney Placed Accounts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-9 | 30% | 40% | 50% | 50% |
| 10+ | 27% | 35% | 40% | 50% |
Remember, if our attempts to collect via litigation fail, you owe us nothing. This no recovery, no fee policy ensures that our interests are aligned with yours, aiming for the successful recovery of your funds.
