How to Send Someone to Collections<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sending someone to collections<\/span> is a colloquialism used to <\/span>hire a collection agency<\/span> to recover an unpaid debt.<\/span><\/p>\n

When <\/span>sending to collections<\/span>, the agency takes a portion of the outstanding debt as their fee. The benefit of taking this course of action is the responsibility of recovery is out of your hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writing off a bad debt means not only losing money but losing the time you put into the project. Here\u2019s what you need to know about <\/span>how to send someone to collections<\/span> and selecting a suitable collections agent for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h2>\n

What Does Going into Collections Mean?<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you <\/span>hire a debt collector<\/span> to recover an outstanding amount, you send a delinquent account into collections.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the last-resort solution when all other options have failed. If you\u2019ve already exhausted all other means of recovering outstanding debt, <\/span>hiring a collection agency for personal debt<\/span> or business debt is the answer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What to Do Before <\/span>Sending Someone to Collections<\/span><\/h2>\n

When deciding whether to <\/span>hire a collection agency to collect a debt<\/span>, it\u2019s best practice to follow a step-by-step procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most experts agree that creditors should wait a minimum of 90 days before sending an account to collections. Looking into <\/span>how to send someone to collections<\/span> before the 90 days are up is considered an overreaction in most circles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Step One \u2013 Resend Outstanding Invoices<\/span><\/h3>\n

Many clients are busy, and invoices go missing. Or, their email provider might have redirected your invoice to their spam folders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Resending outstanding invoices often has the desired effect. Plus, many clients see an invoice on Friday, vowing to pay it on Monday and then forget about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Step Two \u2013 Speak to the Debtor<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sending an email or calling a debtor can straighten out the issue quite quickly. Speak to the client about any potential cash flow problems they might have.<\/span><\/p>\n

Help your debtors by offering a payment plan both sides can agree to. This can improve your relationship with your client and boost your reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Step Three \u2013 Contact a Lawyer and Send a Formal Demand<\/span><\/h3>\n

If none of this has worked, or the debtor has pulled a disappearing act, it\u2019s time to consider more formal action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Contact a lawyer in your area and request them to draw up a demand letter. This is a formal letter detailing the consequences of non-payment. Many nonpayers have paid up out of fear of proper legal action. Be careful here. Do not threaten legal action without consulting an attorney.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span>When Should You <\/span>Hire a Collections Agency<\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Assuming you have followed all the above steps, it may be time to call in a collections agency. But you may be wondering <\/span>how to turn someone over to collections<\/span> and whether it\u2019s the right decision for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, it\u2019s much more affordable to figure out <\/span>how to send a bill to collections<\/span> than it is to hire an attorney and take the issue to court. For smaller amounts, it\u2019s often not worth it to go down the legal route.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a better option to hire a debt collection agency if you don\u2019t have the staff or expertise on your side. Hiring an agency may mean not receiving the full debt back, but experienced professionals specialize in recovering debts large and small.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on the amount, even recovering a portion of the debt could make a big difference to your cash flow.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finding the Right Collection Agency<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are no Federal laws on collections agent licensing. The majority of states require debt collectors to hold a license, but not all of them. Furthermore, it\u2019s not difficult to get a license. Any one-person operation can obtain a license if they hold a valid driving license.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best collection agencies operate on reputation alone; before asking, \u201c<\/span>How do I send someone to collections<\/span>?\u201d think about whether you have the right agency in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

An effortless way of finding a reputable <\/span>collections company<\/span><\/a> that\u2019s professional and does things by the book is to look for the Better Business Bureau (BBB) accreditation. BBB businesses have all been verified for legitimacy and are adequately insured.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, collection agencies live or die on their word-of-mouth reputation. Ask others in your personal and business circles for recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personal experience trumps everything else. If you don\u2019t get any recommendations, look online for reviews from previous customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Average Collection Agency Fees<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s difficult to say how much an agency will charge. The fee depends on the industry, the debt\u2019s age, and how much the agency already knows about the debtor. Average fees range from 18%-50%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if only a portion of the debt is recovered, you\u2019ve lost nothing on fees. While it may be tempting to sell the debt, debt buyers will typically pay pennies on the dollar, so it\u2019s rarely worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h2>\n
