Commercial Collection Fee Schedule
All rates are contingent. No recovery, no fee. There are no hidden costs, fees, minimums or contracts.
You Set Your Own Collection Fee %
You can save money by placing accounts earlier – at the first signs of trouble. Our recovery rates will be much higher and your collection fee lower. Plus our chances of recovering fees and interest for you are much higher. This lowers your cost and may result in the ultimate cost to you – zero!
- 20% – U.S. accounts > $10,000 assigned up to 120 days from oldest invoice
- 25% – U.S. accounts > $10,000 assigned up to 121 – 180 days from oldest invoice
- 30% – U.S. accounts > $10,000 assigned up to 181 – 730 days from oldest invoice
- 35% – International accounts > $10,000
CAUTION
Most businesses wait twice as long as they should before turning accounts over for collection. Don’t make this costly mistake! For every 30 days, the chances of collecting drop another 12%.

Can your attorneys recover collection fees and interest?
Often, yes — if your contract includes proper clauses. If not, we still pursue interest where state law permits. We can also review your existing contract and recommend language that improves your recovery position going forward.
