$500 loan to individual located near Syracuse NY. $1,000 paid to individual 2/3/2004 and has since paid back $500 after several letters from myself.

[Company name] sells medical equipment. We sold the machine for discount price of 25,000 USD. The customer bought our equipment using American Express. After everything was shipped out and confirmed the buyer blocked our company from receiving the $25,000 USD payment. A whole dispute was handled with American Express and our company lost the decision, where we were not able to collect. We had a lawyer write a letter to the customer that the machine needed to be returned within 25 days. Till this date the machine has not been returned. We would like to collect the whole retail price of the machine for $35,800.00 USD.

Going to court next week to evict a tenant, assuming a $4000 judgement. Want to estimate the average cost of collection assuming the above from a husband and wife, will know their address of both work and home

My business performs On-Site Wastewater Treatment and Disposal. One customer has refused to pay the second half of the deposit for my design work, once they received my work. Their reason was that the county rejected their application for a theme park, due to tax free status questions. The Septic Design was satisfactory with the county. Still, they gave up their plans and stopped payment.

Account values are less than $100 for each account. What is the charge to us to collect on these small accounts? Is it better to take it to small claims and try to collect the money that way? We run a lawn care company and usually have 1-2 outstanding accounts per year on average. Small collections each time. Thank you.

Consumers signed 6 month to one year contracts for their children to learn karate. They paid for a few months and are now either only defaulting on the rest of the contract or are also returning charges from months when they actually attended.

I have a document signed by the president of the company acknowledging the debt, so it is not in any kind of dispute. Client has made several small interest payments but refuses to pay anything on the principal of $24,000.

The debts are for fees for income tax preparation. I allow 90 days before turning over to a collection agency. I have three to five people per year who do not pay me. The average debt is about $120. In addition to that I add $50 when the account is beyond 90 days to cover my collection cost. I have been using National Credit Systems Inc with very little success. They do, however, report uncollected debts to all three credit bureaus.

[Debtor name] in Wisconsin Dells, WI owes to [company name] for services rendered from August 2008 thru October 2008. Total amount due is $1,700. Did pay for previous months and then stopped paying.
