What are some of the steps I can take in order to protect myself in the future?
Whether you are a credit executive in a large company or a self employed owner of a
small business, you are aware that proper documentation is essential. Record all
conversations in a customer file and maintain copies of all correspondence in these
files. Record all legal names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses
for anyone involved on your project. This will make it easier later to track down the
proper individuals for collection. If you are a supplier you should always insist on a
credit application and if necessary a personal guarantee. Be sure to include your
terms on the credit application, the interest rate you charge for payments not made
within terms and restitution for professional fees if the balance remains outstanding.

What types of companies do you collect money for?
We assist all types of companies all across the United States, including contractors,
universities, accountants, attorney’s, electricians, material suppliers, management,
restaurants, landscapers, plumbers, furniture, advertising, physicians, trucking,
heating, repair, moving, computer, etc.

services performed by our company.

Are all projects bonded?
Not all projects are bonded. Most Federal and State projects (public) are bonded,
however, only some private projects are covered by a bond. It is always a good idea
to ask if the job is bonded and obtain the bond information at the beginning of the
project.

When do I have to file a bond claim?
Federal projects are covered by what is called the "Miller Act" which gives you 90
days from your last date of performance or from the last date of delivery if you are a
supplier. All other bonds are covered by State statute and/or terms on actual bond.
Consult with us early during your project if you intend on filing a claim.
