Collection Agency Price Quotes in Portland

I'm inquiring a 3rd party collection agency to handle some of our clients that haven't paid in years. Please call me or send me some information regarding your services and information we need to provide. The best time to call me would be anytime from 9am-1pm. I currently work in their Accounts Receivables department.

Please let me know what your rates are and your procedures. I have about 4-5 bad accounts now. They vary in dollars from about $500 to $15,000, both consumer and business. I am looking for an agency to utilize for all of our collection accounts on an ongoing basis. I am not interested in you handling any court proceedings or anything like that, just outside collections.

I was hoping that I would be able to collect on my own, but unfortunately I keep getting the same responses over and over from the company owner of whom I am the IT Consultant / Network manager for their company. I submitted a proposal and was selected by the CEO of SC, Mr. D S, to upgrade their computer hardware, software, and network. I completed this work during April and May. When the billing was submitted and I was asked to draw up a payment agreement and service contract for SC. So, I put together a payment agreement for SC to pay off the cost of the job over a 12 month period of time starting in June of 2010. Along with this payment agreement, SC also signed a service contract with me for an additional monthly fee to provide service and support for their network. To date, the payment agreement to pay for the work completed in upgrading their network in April/May of 2010 has not been paid for the months of August, September, October November, and December of 2010. Also, the service contract has not been paid for the Month of August, September, October, November, or December of 2010 in which I upheld my part of the contract. At this point, I am refusing to do any other work until the billing is current. Along with this, on November 2010 they had a major problem with their network and lost connection to their server and the internet in which I had to visit the office to fix the problem. I did so under the condition that they pay the billing that was due. They agreed and wrote me 2 checks dated for November and December 2010 assuring me the funds would be available on those given dates. Knowing that they had bounced 4 checks on me in the past, I have been to the bank 2-3x a week since the dates on the checks have passed and asked the teller if the funds were available in the account the checks are drawing from. They have informed me that their aren't sufficient funds in the account and as a result if I did deposit the 2 checks, they would bounce. So I am waiting once again, and every time I contact the company, I get an apology and no information about when they I will get paid for the work I have done. Please let me know if you would be able to help me collect.

We have two invoices due us from a Phoenix company which they continue to choose to ignore. They total $12,630 and are over six months past due. We have purchase orders from them for the goods, and have delivery receipts that the goods were delivered. They have not disputed the invoices, but they continue to ignore them as well as our inquiries and demand letters. We suspect that the lack of response is due to a prior dispute we had, but that was completely unrelated to these orders.

I have a debt from Feb 2009 that we have been in contact with the builder and they acknowledge they owe $14,000 on the project, but have not paid and our patience has run out.
