Turning a client over to collection

--- Quote ---What I really want to do but I can't is treat this like if you bought a car and didn't pay they would repo it, so we billed your claims and you are now refusing to pay us so I should be able to send in claim retractions and have the insurance companies take the money paid, back.  Even the threat of it might get the deadbeat's attention.

In an ideal world..unfortunately no, that would put you in a really bad place since no contract in place, no BA agreement (assuming these were all terminated?)

I don't know about you, but principal alone would make me travel to the court, you can add the travel and costs to your suit. IF the amount is over the small claims limit.. file suit anyway, again you can be compensated for travel and costs if you win. If you had a good contract it will be easy win.

Actually we have.  Only for one account because they were out of state.  We did end up collecting but not completely due to Transworld.  We used the Profit Recovery portion which only cost $12.  Then we had to push further.  (Nasty client)  But once they realized we weren't going away they paid.  The reason I recommended it in this case is I was thinking if the client is in another state it would be easier, and also she indicated that she thinks they will pay so I figured Transworld would be the easiest and cheapest route. 

Lisa@srts-inc.com:
Thanks again for the advice and info, it is very helpful.

I do think i will look into small claims court, i hear Colorado is beautiful this time of year :-)

We have been in business for 24 years and only one time until recently did we have to chase a client for money.  The past year we have had 3. 
Luckily we do have a good contract and I have since added to it to state the client agrees to cover ALL costs if they refuse to pay and account is turned over to collection or an attorney.
