Contingency Debt
Collection Services
No matter how much time and effort we spend, if we fail to collect there is no fee, even if the attorney is involved. Services include validation of the debt, locating and contacting the debtor, documenting and resolving disputes, establishing and monitoring payment plans, evaluating and recommending for legal action and other services necessary to collect.
Legal
Services
We work with only the best collection law firms. When non-legal efforts fail to produce payment, we do not hesitate to use the courts, with your permission. Some cases take on a life of their own but we persist and regardless of the effort involved, attorney fees are paid by ClawBack.
Restoration
Pre-Check
Do you ever have doubts about getting paid from a new customer or a self-pay? Many of the collection accounts we receive could have been prevented had a screening been performed prior to completing the job. We can help with risk management by pre-checking the customer and property to uncover possible problems.
Judgment
Execution
Unfortunately filing a lawsuit and obtaining a judgment may be just the beginning so we don’t stop there. Many lawyers place a lien and wait for something to happen. We aggressively pursue execution on all judgments, the ones we have obtained or the ones given to us by our clients. We use debtor interrogatories, liens, levies, garnishments, attachments and sheriff sales.
A/R
Staff Training
ClawBack can provide debt collection training to members of your A/R staff to improve their effectiveness and reduce the reliance on outside collectors.
When there is turnover or absences ClawBack can provide a level of backup and perform some of the function until the vacancy can be filled.
Consulting
Both ClawBack and our attorney can be available for consulting related to internal procedures, bad debt avoidance, case strategy, contracts, compliance and other debt collection issues.
As a value added service we are available to your A/R personnel to discuss specific problems or answer questions on a “no charge” as-available basis.
Forms
Specific restoration related forms are available through ClawBack. Our Work Authorization/Contract has evolved over 20 years, is court tested and is designed to assure payment.
Bankruptcy
Support
When a debtor petitions for bankruptcy, ClawBack can provide support and monitoring to try to assure you get your share of the bankruptcy estate. This includes preparing the Proof-of-Claim and detecting dismissal and discharge by the court. We also monitor Chapter 13 payments, receive and account for them.
Mechanics’
Liens
Depending on the location and circumstances ClawBack can obtain Mechanics’ Liens to help secure and guarantee payment of your invoices. Because time is of the essence, this service can usually be provided within 24-48 hours.
Contractor
Compliance Services
Most restoration companies are “contractors” within the local definition. This means there is a host of compliance issues that can affect not only payment of invoices but penalties from the local authorities for non-compliance. ClawBack can provide the necessary consulting and forms to facilitate compliance.
