At Vermeulen Attorneys, we have established processes to ensure efficient management of both your Soft and Hard Collections. This strategy enables seamless coordination from Collection Agents to Attorneys, eliminating wastage of time.

Understanding Debt Collection

To improve clarity, let's divide the scope of Debt Collection into two categories:

• Soft Collections (Letters of Demand, Phone Calls, Blacklisting, etc.), and
• Hard Collections (Collections via litigation).

Debt Recovery Strategy

To ensure quick and effective debt recovery, a balanced strategy combining soft and hard collections is essential. Implementing this strategy will help minimize bad debt and enhance your cashflow. We have further optimized our processes to ensure maximum file turnover in minimum time.
