Our law firm has a state-of-the-art call center and collection floor at our corporate headquarter location.
Technology
is an integral part of collections. Our collectors
use a state of the art call management and predictive
dialer system to maximize penetration and debtor
contact. Integrated with our proprietary collection
system, dialer projects can be tailored to meet
specific collection needs. Standard debtor demand,
progressive and staged debtor contact, contact
at significant points in the legal process, and
settlement campaigns all benefit from the penetration
that only an automated process can provide.
While
compliance with the client's requirements is closely
monitored, no less emphasis is placed on legal
compliance with provisions of the federal Fair
Debt Collection Practices Act, provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code, stringent state regulations,
HIPAA, and GLB as well as FTC and Attorney Generals
consent decrees that may affect certain clients.
Quarterly training and periodic testing of the
collection staff insures that these areas receive
the attention they deserve and satisfy due diligence
requirements as well. In addition, all staff with the office are annually trained and tested regarding these substantive laws as well to best ensure a firm-wide culture of compliance.
