DCI’s Three-Phase Recovery System
DCI’s unwavering commitment to efficient debt recovery is demonstrated through its three-phase recovery system. This system ensures that clients’ outstanding debts are managed comprehensively and optimally:
Phase One
Within 24 hours of placing an account, DCI initiates the recovery process. This phase includes:
- Sending the first of four letters to the debtor via US Mail.
- Conducting skip-tracing and investigations to obtain accurate financial and contact information.
- Initiating contact with the debtor through phone calls, emails, text messages, faxes, and more.
- Daily attempts to contact debtors for the first 30 to 60 days.
If Phase One does not yield a resolution, the case progresses to Phase Two.
Phase Two
In this phase, DCI’s network of affiliated attorneys takes over. Expect the following:
- Drafting demand letters on law firm letterhead, demanding payment from the debtor.
- Intensive attempts to contact the debtor via phone and a series of letters.
- Transparency in communicating the issues surrounding the case and recommendations for the next steps.
Phase Three
DCI’s recommendation in this phase is tailored to the specific case:
- Closure of the case if recovery seems unlikely after a thorough investigation.
- Option to proceed with legal action, with the client deciding whether to file a lawsuit.
- No upfront legal costs for cases not proceeding to litigation.
- Payment of upfront legal fees for litigation, with costs typically ranging from $600.00 to $700.00, depending on the debtor’s jurisdiction.
