Methodology
THE THREE-TIERED APPROACH
Tier 1 - Collection Agency Activity
The policy of MCA is to vigorously collect as much of the debt as possible and to use litigation only when absolutely necessary. Depending on the types and age of the accounts, normal operation is for a series of notices, normally four - first, second, third and last attempt - to be mailed in succession.
Tier 2 - In-State Litigation Activity
Our partner, the law firm of Francis A. Gaschen, employs a collections policy geared toward getting the highest return in as little time as possible. An initial dunning letter will be sent. If there is no response or the debtor refuses to make payment within a resonable time, the account will be evaluated as to whether a lawsuit is warranted.
Tier 3 - Out of State Litigation Activity
In appropriate circumstances, our law firm resource can also assist MCA in identifying out-of-state attorneys who are available to assist in the collections process throughout the United States.
