BEDARD BREAKS DOWN SENDING MVN IN OTHER LANGUAGES
- America is a melting pot of cultures and backgrounds. And that means that a lot of the people living here in the United States came from places where English wasn’t the primary language that was spoken. Take me, for instance. Being Canadian, it took a lot for me to learn how to say “about” instead of “aboot” when I moved to the States more than 20 years ago. Even today, I still get caught saying it the old way. In the latest episode of “You Wanted a Rule, You Got a Rule,” John Bedard breaks down what is required if an agency opts to send Model Validation Notices in languages other than English.
Q&A WITH RICK BONITZER
- There is a lot for Rick Bonitzer to be excited about these days. His recently rebranded company — PayCourt (more on that in a minute) — was recently awarded a Torch Award by the Better Business Bureau. The company is one of only a few in the accounts receivable management industry to ever win such a prestigious award. At the same time, Bonitzer launched a rebranding of his company, Credit Collection Partners, changing the name to PayCourt. Mike Gibb of AccountsRecovery.net exchanged a series of emails with Bonitzer about the two big events.
STATE APPEALS COURT REVERSES RULING, PUTS AGENCY ON HOOK FOR DEBTOR’S LEGAL FEES
- For companies in the accounts receivable management industry, knowing when to settle a lawsuit or continue defending it is a decision that is never simple or straightforward. Settle and you save money now, but possibly paint a target on your back for more lawsuits. Fight and you may stop future lawsuits from being filed, but it will cost you a lot more to defend. A state court in Washington has reversed a lower court’s ruling that a collection agency is not liable for the attorney’s fees of an individual it sued to recover an unpaid debt because it did not accept an offer to pay a debt that did not include $213 in costs.
