AACANet offers flexibility in account treatment and account selection assistance. Many of our clients have an internal process to determine which accounts to place for legal and which to place with agency. Not all accounts are appropriate for a legal program, so AACANet helps its clients by establishing pre-screening, scoring and treatment standards to maximize the efforts through the network. AACANet will work with clients to design a placement strategy and account treatment to maximize return.
AGENCY
PRE-LEGAL
LEGAL
Agency Some accounts will never be suited for legal. Because of the type of account, balance or other factors certain accounts would only be worked by an agency. AACANet will help identify those accounts where an agency treatment is best and design a placement strategy with those agencies which have demonstrated a core competency for the paper. Where appropriate, AACANet will place with an agency who will manage the credit reporting of the claim.
Pre-Legal At times, it is desirable to provide a final opportunity before sending an account to legal. AACANet has developed a pre-legal strategy which includes account selection, triggers to move accounts into the legal stream and warnings to remove an account from pre-legal. Often pre-legal is beneficial to the legal strategy by saving court costs and allowing the account to resolve privately.
Legal In many instances the only way to collect is through the legal system. A well-run legal program will increase the per-file return by allowing the judgment creditor to use post judgment remedies to enforce payment. AACANet assures that accounts placed into the legal stream progress to judgment and post judgment remedies are employed, unless payment is made. Each firm is expected to employ multiple post judgment asset location services and AACANet offers post judgment asset assistance as an additional service.
