Don’t wait too long to hire a debt collection attorney in Michigan to help you win your case. The older a debt gets, the more difficult it become to collect!

If you’re past the point of collecting profits you may now be trying to minimize your losses.

According to the Credit & Collections Kit for Dummies, written by Steven A. Harms, former senior partner at Muller, Muller, Richmond, & Harms, P.C., “no general rule suits all businesses” when it comes time to deciding when it’s time to bring in the pros to help.

1. Economic trends in your industry. If your industry is experiencing a downturn, you may benefit from early involvement by a professional.
2. General economic conditions. Similarly, when the economy as a whole is worsening, early collection efforts may help you recover before troubled debtors run out of money.
3. Competition in your industry. If you face a lot of competition, your customer may be taking advantage of the situation by running from one supplier to another, running up big bills and leaving them unpaid. If you delay in pursuing collection, your competitors may beat you to the punch and, by the time you get around to it, the customer may have no funds left to pay you.
4. Requirements of your auditors or banks. If you’ve obtained loans against your receivables, professional collection services may help you keep your accounts current and satisfy lenders that your accounts are sound and that you remain creditworthy.
5. Factoring companies or receivable insurance contracts. Similarly, if you finance factor or insure your receivables, collection professionals may help you fulfill your contractual obligations relating to your accounts.
