We’re relentless, using every tool at our disposal—phone calls, emails, text messages, faxes—to reach a resolution.
Our goal is simple: make daily attempts to contact the debtor for the first 30 to 60 days, pushing for a swift and fair settlement.
If our initial efforts don’t yield results, we’re prepared to escalate. We’ll forward the case to an affiliated attorney in the debtor’s jurisdiction, who will continue the pressure with legal-headed letters and persistent calls. It’s a strategic one-two punch designed to get your money back.
