New Approach to Commercial Collections Allows for Increased Recovery of Delinquent Account Dollars

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- International Recovery Services, Inc., working in tandem with the offices of Joseph F. Whitehead, PA, Attorney at Law, announced today that they have tripled the industry average on the recovery of delinquent account dollars. The company specializes in commercial and large balance consumer collections.

"Our approach to collections is simple: we gather the right information upfront and use it to achieve our goals at the first point of contact," said Whitehead. "We take the steps that the other guys are missing to help our clients get what they've earned. We also combine the power of attorney contact with the fundamentals of collections to enhance the potential of a high rate of return from debtors."

Rather than just skimming the surface like many collections agencies, International Recovery Services succeeds in accessing critical information prior to initiating the recovery process. This helps to ensure that the first point of contact with the delinquent account yields the desired results. Without complete information regarding a company's financial position and history, it becomes more difficult to compel that company to fulfill its financial obligations. Working in conjunction with the offices of Joseph F. Whitehead, PA, Attorney at Law, further arms the company with the ammunition to successfully recover funds.

"We've never had this level of success with recovery and resolution until now, and we've never seen returns so quickly," said Jonathan Meadows, senior manager of receivables at Thomson Gale. "The reports run on each account help us to gain access to current company information and allow for maximum impact on the first collection call." Thomson Gale, a division of Thomson Publishing, is one of the largest providers of reference materials on a national and international level.
