BuyerZone user comments: collection agency quote details

The client I am trying to collect money from has sold his business and relocated to West Virgina. I don't have his home address, but I do have his previous address and have his social security number. Please let me know what other kind of information needed to get in touch with him to collection the past due account.

Bills for website development services. Client (a provider of alternative energy products and services) claims hours expended are excessive. Verbal contract (FORMER friend). Billed $1,833.33 on 8/21/08 and $4,013.17 on 8/6/08. I am still currently hosting his website on my own hosting account at no charge and will inform him that I will shut it off if not paid. I also control the domain name. Have detailed records of activities charged for, which were itemized on his bills. In addition to invoicing him, I have sent two follow-up statements indicating days past due for both amounts (payment due 30 days after invoice date). Client has already paid two smaller invoices totally approx. $1,300.

Constructed a wedding Gown for customer. After a series of fittings the last of which was 7/1/08,I was told on 7/11/08 the day before her wedding that she no longer wanted the gown. However she assured me that the outfit would be picked up and the bill paid. However, despite several subsequent conversations and my sending her a reminder notice 9/8/08 (also the day I dated and sent her the invoice), there has been no action on her part. The gown is still in my possession. I am a professional land surveyor. The company in question owes me $2495.00. The total bill was $5295.00. The company made a partial payment of $2800.00 in July of 2008. Since then they will not answer the phone, ignore faxes and e-mails, and hide in the back office when we show up in person to talk with them.

Private Property damage caused by a driver who had no insurance at the time of the accident. I do have a copy of the Traffic Crash Report for the Sheriff's Office. Property damage total was just under $2000. The property that was damaged was 80ft of chain link fence.

Several attempts were made prior to involving a collection agency for payment of services render. Every attempt failed because of the client no good faith effort to resolve the payment for this account in amicable and professional manner. There is no objections on our part to purse legal action against this person to resolve this delinquent account.

Many accounts have been reduced to judgment. I have all documents to support the account. Most have UCC-1 filings and the contracts provide that the debtor will pay all collection costs as well as 18% interest.

Our firm established a tax exemption for the client as well as tax refund for taxes paid on utilities consumed in manufacturing. Our fee is 50% of the refund recovered. The client received the refund, and now says cash flow is hindering him from sending our fee. We sent our Statement For Services to the client on October 28, 2008. The first contact was 30 days after billing. At that point he said the check would be issued within another 10 to 12 days. Now he says it will be year end or later. He has not said that he won't pay, however, he's beginning to drag things out. As background, we provide water and salt route delivery to home and businesses. In addition, we provide water treatment systems for household, commercial, and industrial applications.

Chiropractic clinic looking to collect on outstanding balances where services have already been rendered.

The accounts we need collections on are for medical services received. Either payment checks were sent to the patient and/or the office services were applied to their deductible. Either way - patients are not responding to repeated letters and/or phone calls. Also, would like to know which credit bureaus you report to.

1. loans made with signed demand grid notes, and promissory notes. 2. interest on notes 2% over prime, if default. 3. Do you purchase notes at a discounted value or do you collect and discount a % of what is collected?

We are trying to collect from work performed at an apartment complex.

At various times I have patients who "fly the coop" leaving an unpaid bill from $150 to, perhaps, $600. I'd like to have an agency at hand who I can fill out a form and send (hopefully by email or website) to pursue these "deadbeats."
