Is Legal Action Better than Debt Collection?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

A lot of clients in need of debt collection assistance could be undecided about using commision-based debt collection or legal action.

A debt collector and lawyer who focuses on debt collection advises clients to pursue payment of their obligations as soon as possible since the longer they wait, the more difficult it will be to do so.

Being the first to act is also crucial because debtors can owe money to other parties who are also attempting to get paid.

There are several things to think about when deciding between commision-based debt collection and legal action. Customers should confirm that the debt collection company or lawyer has experience recovering debts for their particular business and should get references from previous or present customers.

A no-win-no-fee debt collector can be the ideal choice if customers need their money back right away because they have an incentive to do it. However, legal action is advised to secure larger debts above $100,000 for a set amount of time.

On a no-win-no-fee basis, which means they only charge their commision if and when they successfully collect the debt, debt collection firms can take on the responsibility of sending collection letters, making calls, and negotiating payment.

However, unless they take on the case on a no-win, no-fee basis, lawyer must be compensated in any case. Clients that want to outsource their debt collection needs to a collection agency can concentrate on managing their credit department or business.

When debtors are refusing to pay because of a disagreement over a contract, a product, or a service, legal action may be the wisest course of action. Legal action is also advised if the debtor has the means to pay but refuses to do so.

The ideal alternative is to select a business that offers both commision-based debt collection and legal solutions because they can offer a complete service and a reasonable solution based on the demands of the customer.

Debtors may act more quickly if they receive free legal letters of demand from businesses that offer both debt collection and legal options as part of their service.
