Our customer
service department will load the account (s) into our
Debt-Master computer system within 24hrs. We accept paper
claims or a disc with all of the data. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The 30-day acknowledgement letter under Outsource
Receivables, Inc. name will be sent out the day the
account is entered into the system informing the
patient all communications should now be directed
to our office. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The accounts will be assigned to a collectors unit
immediately, which collector who receives the account
will depend on the dollar size and the client. The
first attempt to make contact will be made within
24hrs of receiving the account. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
If the patient
cannot be reached using the information provided the
account will then be sent to our skip-tracing department
for further investigation. The experienced tracer will
then use on-line services and a credit bureau report
to find new information that will lead us to the patient. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The collector will keep in contact with the patient
every 3-7 days via the phone and in writing in an
attempt to prompt payment in full or a reasonable
payment plan. The collector calls will vary from
8 A.M. to 9 P.M. If the first collector is not making
progress then the account is forwarded to another
collector hoping the change of personality will prompt
the desired result. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
A toll free number will be provided for use to
those consumers who have had accounts placed with
ORI. |
| |
|
|

|
Outsource Receivables,
Inc. offers the patient several different methods of payment.
Check over the phone, Visa/MasterCard (if accepted at the
clients office) , check or money order via the mail (First
Class or Express) |
| |

|
| |
|
The patient will be reported to the credit bureau
if a set arrangement is not being followed through
upon as agreed or the account is not paid in full
by the 90th day of being at Outsource Receivables,
Inc. This information is reported to the three major
bureaus on a monthly basis. The changes that take
place each month will automatically be updated two
all three bureaus. If the account is not resolved
the information will be public record for 6 years
from the last payment date. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
If the collectors
are not making progress and they have met all the requirements
the account will then be reviewed by the Collection
Manager. He will decide if the account should
be called further to offer a settlement agreement,
recommended for
legal review or to be closed due
to other circumstances. |

FDCPA
Approved Letters |
| |
|
|
| |
A series
of debt collection letters is in place to use as collection
tools, the first letter being a requirement of FDCPA within
a specified period of time from the first contact by the
collector. Subsequent letters include stronger verbage
to use if there has been no response to previous letters.
A settlement offer letter and payment reminder
letter are also available to the collector. |
| |
|
|
| |
We
commit to a zero tolerance for collection actions or
activities that result in legitimate complaints. That
is why we endorse a collection philosophy based on recovering
accounts proactively and with integrity. We concentrate
on treating the customer with dignity and respect in
all cases. We
do not work under the old “debtor” paradigm,
but rather, we endorse an environment focused on customer
service. In Addition, our culture facilitates gaining
the customer’s cooperation through adherence to state
and federal laws, fairness, helping customers maintain
their credit by payment, and problem solving with customers
to reach a payment plan rather than accepting excuses for
nonpayment. |
