WHY NOT USE A BILLING COMPANY OR IN HOUSE COLLECTIONS?
Billing agencies and in house collections do not report accounts to the credit
bureaus. By the time an account has gone through the billing agency,
consumers have already applied for any credit they may need because they
know they will soon be turned over to collections. Billing agency results are
really nothing more than a mailing company. You are really just paying an
up-front fee to have a billing agency send mail,most billing companies don't
even make calls. Although the billing aspect is not the problem in its self, its
that your giving your consumers a 90 to 180 day advantage. Billing agencies
basically tell consumers to apply for any credit they need before its turned
over to a collection agency. Even if your contract calls for collection costs,
billing agencies can not charge the consumer for simply billing. This is
where Control Data Inc. has the advantage as a licensed collection agency.
As long as your contract calls for collection costs, any costs associated with
the collection of a debt can be added into the original amount and billed to
the consumer.
In house collections is another matter. With in house collections you have to
pay someone to collect. Unless your doing it yourself you have the costs of
hiring employees and taxes. You are going to have the costs of mailing,
stamps, collection letters, time, and the list gos on. Consumers are becoming
more educated on their rights, and most consumers know that in house
collections do not report to the credit bureaus, so they are not a threat to their
credit ratings. If your looking to save costs and get the most back out of your
unpaid portfolio call Control data Inc. today for a FREE evaluation of how our
