RSD has the unique ability to facilitate legal collections based on their expertise in the field, the volume of legal matters they handle, and the resources they have available.

The advantages of choosing a collection agency in Michigan include:

Vetted law firms – Rather than trying to find a quality law firm by yourself, RSD can connect you with one using a law list, or a list of law firms willing to take your claim on a contingency fee basis. The firms on the law list work within a strict set of rules set forth by the Commercial Law League of America (CLLA) and abide by the usual and customary practices particular to the collection industry.

High level of experience – Both RSD and the law firms on the law list are collection experts! RSD sends many claims to the agencies on the law list so they receive even more experience. This experience is helpful because an experienced collection law firm can often settle a case, or even bring it to trial without the necessity for you to provide a witness.

Qualifications Your Collection Service Should Have

The perfect debt collection agency:

  • is prepared to give the best possible effort. But the agency cannot guarantee results on any specific date, as this would be misleading.
  • is equipped to work and follow all accounts diligently.
  • has complete and modern facilities for tracing debtors who skip.
  • will promptly notify you when it discovers a debtor who is a hardship case and will recommend the proper procedure to follow.
  • exhausts all reasonable means of securing voluntary payment before recommending legal action.

Considering using a debt collector in Michigan?

Consider the following qualifications and credentials when choosing a collection service. Check to see whether the agency…

  • is a member of a national trade association. Membership is an indication of professional integrity.
  • has a good reputation in the community with merchants, local/state business associations and other credit groups.
  • has complied with the state’s statutory requirements as to bond or license or both.
  • charges fees that are clearly stated and seldom subject to misinterpretation. Rates and fees are usually on a contingency basis-no collection, no charge. If the collection agency requests a written contract, the agency will welcome your having it reviewed by an attorney.

How Debt Collectors Can Save You Time and Money

Two business people shaking hands | Collection agency Michigan

If you’re a business owner, you might be concerned about the cost of hiring a debt collection agency, but you also need to count the cost of handling collections yourself. If your staff must take time away from your business to track down debtors, you’re losing money. Yet, many businesses will try to collect on their own first, before contacting a debt collection agency. They view an agency as an unnecessary expense, or a last resort, but by the time they call an agency they’ve already wasted more time and money than they could afford to lose. 

Learn how partnering with a collection agency in Michigan can save you time and money!

Why Partner with a Debt Collector?

 At some point, every business will have to address an unpaid invoice. When resending the invoice or invoking a late fee doesn’t prompt payment, what do you do? What if the debtor has moved, or just doesn’t want to be found? If you’re not in the business of debt collection, you might not have the best tools or processes at your disposal to track down the payment.

RSD Can Help Locate Your Debtor

What do you do when a customer doesn’t pay?

What if your invoices come back marked “return to sender?”

And where do you start if they’ve just disappeared? 

Business debt collection in Michigan can be frustrating and time-consuming. Whether your efforts have been “returned to sender” or the recipient simply hasn’t responded to your contact attempts, it’s possible they haven’t received your letters or calls. They may have moved without a forwarding address, or the person receiving the mail hasn’t passed it along to the intended recipient. Or they could wish to stay “lost.” 

RSD conducts full investigations – including skip tracing for those hard-to-locate debtors. Learn more about skip tracing!

We collect with kindness and empathy, pursuing your resolution aggressively but professionally. We believe that fair and firm gets results. 

As a business owner, you shouldn’t have to chase debts. Let us do it for you.

What Is Skip Tracing?

Skip-tracing is the process of finding debtors who have disappeared – skipped town. It’s a series of steps designed to verify and correct client information before searching a variety of sources for new information that may help find that debtor. Some possible resources include:
