Anyone here know of a good international collection agency? Or any good collection agency for that matter.
Collection agency and web hosting just doesn't mix. New laws make it much harder since the Obama administration has been around...
Really? How so? We've had absolutely NO issues what-so-ever using a collection agency. The success rate on recovery has been better than 60%. Never had any legal issues.

Assuming that your business is global how do you handle collections outside the US? Isn't it relevant there seeing how each country imposes different laws on that? :smash:
what a load of bull.
If you have a legitimate business and someones owes you money you have the legal right to employ a collection agency to collect monies owed to yo, no matter what country they are from.
The point of International Collection agencies is that you deal with 1 agency in your own country and this agency will deal with any agencies in the country the debtor is from. This method is more expensive as you have to pay fees for more agencies.
before appointing any collection agencies you have to weight up the costs and see if it is worth chasing the debt.
In the UK we first send out an LBS (Letter Before Action), this gives the debtor 14 days to pay the debt.
We use Express Debt Collection who deal with all the process from LBA automatically
their charges are as below
so nowhere near the 50% wh-coach say these agencies charge
That's interesting Terry I never thought about web hosting and collection agencies.
I'm sure it's worth doing when you get into big depts such as for dedicated servers etc
I don't see how an American debt collection agency would chase down arrears in Australia. Unless they sell off the debt to an Australian agency.

I don't understand the rude condescending tone here... I was also referring to the US system.
