BuyerZone user comments: collection agency quote details

I am a wholesale artist and have been in business for 17 years. This is the first time I have been in this situation. A company in Blue Ridge, Georgia place an order with me in Philadelphia, Pa, and received their order in May. I have made several phone calls and sent numerous invoices, and have been told they do not intend on paying this bill. They keep the product and was not willing to send it back. Their attitude is that I am a individual who does not have the means to collect this money. They may be right. The amount may not be large to you, but as an individual, it has an impact. They owe $373.....at this point I just want them to pay someone. Thank you,

Looking for a good reasonable collection company to collect on 90 to 120 days delinquent. The amounts range from $200 to maybe $1,500. These accounts are mostly from businesses. I am a retailer and a wholesaler(Corporation)selling holiday gift items.

One client owes $10,250 for legal services. The client has never contested an invoice, just simply stopped paying. THe client promised to pay twice, but failed to send payment. No payments have been made in 2008. We are ready to send this one in for collections. Another client owes the firm nearly $25,000. The client has never contested an invoice or complained about our services. This client has promised repeatedly to pay, but has failed to pay in full, and no payments have been made since May 2008. The principal of the client has made a personal guarantee to pay us by Christmas. If it does not happen, we will be referring this matter to collections.

Apartment leasing service needs collections from delinquent tenants. These tenants have moved, leaving unpaid rents. Some accounts very recent, some a couple of years old. We intend to forward new accounts to partner agency on a regular basis. Pls. advise. Thanks.

3 separate invoices, totaling $3000, all to same business, initially given net 30, did not respond to Second Notice Past 30 days due, not returning phone calls/ email. Have credit card number of business, but think I need their permission to post the balance due to the card.

Currently I have 5 accounts with a collection agency. There has been no activity for 4 months from them, no response to my phone calls, emails, etc. I have this new account I want to give to a new collection agency, if all goes well I can move over the other accounts.

I am a paperhanger that completed 3 projects for a painting company in LaGrange, Illinois The company has been notified by letter I intend to collect. After a month of no return calls, I talked to the owner of the company that agreed to pay. He sent me check for a portion of the work,after promising to pay for services rendered in full.

It's rare that patients refuse to pay their outstanding debt. I'm a physician, and don't think it's fair to not get paid for my services. We have a series of 3 letters--last one sent certified. The last one is a dismissal letter stating that they not only need to find a new doctor, but their delinquent account will be forwarded to a Collection Agency.

The client ordered a boundary survey. The work was done and the survey delivered. Payment was due on receipt of the survey. The client made 2 $500.00 payments. The client then said she did not own the property, it was in a trust, and was no longer responsible and for me to contact her lawyer. The lawyer said the bill would be paid when the trust was settled. That was a year ago. The client ordered the survey- she need to pay for it.

The debtor is a software distributor in San Francisco who says he has "closed his doors" but has not declared bankruptcy. His lawyer simply sent a letter to the effect that the business has failed and he doesn't intend to pay his debts. The distributor uses "Inc." after the company name but we can find no evidence that it is actually incorporated.

Have judgments--people have moved out of state. ( UTAH ).

Hi, I am on the board of a homeowner's association. We have 54 units of which about half are delinquent. Total debt owed to the Association is around $220K. We do have an attorney who is doing collection activities on our behalf. We would be interested in hearing possible solutions to recover our outstanding debt as fast as possible since it is a continued burden to the rest of the unit owners. We would consider selling our current outstanding debt at a big discount. Looking forward to hearing from you.
