Our Client Service Commitment: Our commitment is to
provide the highest quality representation. We are professional yet aggressive
in our efforts to contribute to the profitability of our clients. Hillcrest
Credit Agency brings to you a well-trained staff that has over 75 years
experience in the collection industry. We are members of the American Collectors
Association, Inc. and the Kentucky Collectors Association. We are part of an
Association throughout the nation that strives to maintain a quality, ethical
and educated industry.
Our Recovery Ratio: The national recovery ratios
for Collection Agencies throughout the United States are 19%. We at Hillcrest
Credit Agency are proud to say we are at a recovery ratio of 36-38 %, well above
the national average.
Our Normal Progression for Collection: When an
account is placed with our agency, written notification is immediately sent to
the debtor. If payment is made within 14 days, no additional action is taken. If
payment is not made, the account is placed in a Collection Specialist route.
Phone calls and additional correspondence follow. If the account is paid in full
within 30 days of placement, it does not appear on the debtor’s credit history.
Our Collection Goals: Our first collection effort
is payment in full. If we find that resources do not exist to make that
possible, we will work with the debtor to arrange a monthly payment at the
highest affordable amount. If these efforts are not successful, the account will
be reviewed for legal action. Our legal department will notify you by mail if a
request to file suit is necessary. This is at your discretion. Hillcrest has a
highly trained skip trace department that locates new addresses, employment, or
assets.
What Our Clients Receive: You will receive an
acknowledgment of all accounts submitted after posting. Each month you will
receive a progress report that will list each of the accounts that you listed
with us. This report also consists of how many calls and letters were placed to
the debtor, and gives you the status on each one. You will receive a statement
of the payment history for that month on debtors that have paid in your office
or ours. At no time is there a fee to you if debt can not be collected.
