I run a small day care business and I need to use (hire) a collection agency?

Question

I need a way to collect money from people with very delinquent accounts.

Answer 1

Since your business is local, your best bet is an attorney in your area.

There is usually an attorney in each city that specializes in collection.

ask your attorney or call the local Bar association and they can recommend one to you. The collection fees are the same, if you want to go further there are other fees but they can often get those collected with the debt.

Good Luck!

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

I hope that you are not still providing service to the families that do not pay you. In the future, your contract should state that there is a late fee for not paying on time, and that you will stop providing care if more than two late fees must be charged. Depending on the amound due you, it may not pay to hire a collection agency which will take half of the money they collect. Check your phone book for such local agencies.
