Most significantly, our Secondary Phase of collections involve the active use of legal counsel in all stages of the collections process, from negotiating with the debtor for those who are responsive to the initial demand to filing and litigating a suit to judgment for those debtors who are not as forthcoming. Further, legal counsel will also be used in post-judgment collections proceedings, which insures that everything that can be done from a legal perspective will be done in order to obtain the payment our customers are owed. Unlike many other firms, Hartford Meiers performs all of these services on a complete contingency basis.
