Despite the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforcing strict regulations to safeguard American borrowers against unfair collection practices, inexperienced and rogue debt collectors are still prevalent. Engaging such agencies to help with debt collection for your small business can be a risky move.
In most cases, engaging in illegal actions such as issuing threats to debtors, demanding amounts above the set legal limit, revealing their indebtedness to other people (co-workers, family members, etc.) tend to backfire on the debt collector.
Debtors who understand their rights will often capitalize on such loopholes to file a violation complaint, which can land the collection company in deep trouble, in addition to not being able to recover the money. On top of potential litigation, such misconduct by the collection agency can end up ruining your reputation, leading to loss of business.
At Hanna & Jarbo, we are well-conversant with debt collection laws which enable us to remain complaint while aggressively pursuing the debts. And in case a debtor goes into hiding, making it difficult to recover the debts, we can skip trace them and initiate the collection process.
We prioritize recovery through out-of-court negotiations as we believe this is essential in fostering good relations with the customer. However, if the debtor ignores our agreements or communication, we often escalate the case to the court.
Generally, we only file a case if we are confident we have a good chance at winning. Hence, we conduct thorough preparation by gathering all the necessary documents and facts to build a strong case and increase our chances of winning.
Whenever a debtor fails to submit payments as agreed, we may request the court to issue an order instructing their employer to withhold a certain percentage of their salary.
