Question 1

How is Miller, Ross & Goldman different from other collection agencies?

Accepted Answer

Most commercial collection agencies have a high employee turnover rate due to the industry’s commission-centered income structure and extremely competitive environment among collection agents. This combination creates a “do anything, say anything” culture that runs contrary to the professional representation we know our Clients expect and deserve.

Miller, Ross & Goldman’s team has had absolutely zero turnover in more than 10 years. We’ve carefully hired and trained the most talented strategic tacticians and negotiators in the business and created a fun and relaxing work environment where they can thrive. We take great pride in our team’s positive attitude and commitment to exceptional performance each and every day.

Everyone at Miller, Ross & Goldman earns a generous salary commensurate with their experience, consistent performance and no-exception work ethic. Our entire team also earns the same year-end bonus based on our firm’s growth, earnings and industry ranking. We also give out lots of well-deserved recognition, gift cards and smiles throughout the year!

So, how does all this translate into benefits for our Clients? That’s easy: Miller, Ross & Goldman Clients enjoy the bottom-line, highest performance and overall satisfaction, by far. Any challengers? Let’s roll.

Question 3

How long will it take for you to collect?

Accepted Answer

Although there are many factors which may result in a slower than ideal resolution, in most cases our collection efforts will yield positive results within 10-30 days. We can often recover accounts within just a few days from placement provided they're placed with us in the earlier stages of delinquency.

Question 4

I'm concerned that if I use your service, I might alienate my customers. Feedback?

Accepted Answer

This is certainly an understandable opinion, given the tactics that some competitors employ to collect money. So, do your due diligence and check out any potential vendor thoroughly.

I think you'll agree that any company could potentially alienate a customer for many reasons. A customer may become dissatisfied due to just one of many aspects of their experience failing to meet their needs, hopes or expectations in some way. But if any customer fails to pay as agreed for the goods and/or services your company provides, and your reasonable attempts to collect have failed, than hiring a qualified professional that has the expertise and resources to get the job done should be a risk you're willing to take. Yes, a customer may get upset for being sent to collections, but few individuals are happy-go-lucky in the midst of a financial crisis. Anger and frustration are par for the course, and are often emotions that simply must be carefully dealt with while taking positive steps toward a resolution.

That being said, we completely understand and are sensitive to your desire to maintain solid business relationships with good customers who may only be experiencing a temporary financial setback. We always strive to conduct our efforts in a manner that serves to preserve, salvage and elevate your customer relationships when possible. We often receive compliments from client customers, many of which have also become clients after satisfying their debt.

Question 5

How long should I wait before I utilize your service?

Accepted Answer

If a customer is late more than 60 days and isn't communicating with you, you shouldn't wait any longer to place the account with us. Customers who are communicating their intentions to pay, yet still become 90-120 days past-due should be placed for collections immediately. Although we often recover accounts well over a year past-due, waiting too long to place an account can be a costly error in judgment. Click here for published collection statistics.

Question 6

What is the process if you can't collect and a lawsuit is necessary?

Accepted Answer

Although the majority of claims placed with us for collection will be recovered without the need for legal action, sometimes a lawsuit may be necessary to protect your company's financial interests. Please click here for details on how claims are handled if legal remedies to enforce payment through the courts are necessary.

Question 7

Are your rates negotiable?

Accepted Answer

In certain circumstances, absolutely. Although our published contingency "No Collection, No Fee" rates are highly competitive, clients placing unusually large balances and/or a high or consistently regular volume of account assignments may qualify for a negotiated rate.

Question 8

Is there a faster way to submit higher numbers of accounts for collection?

Accepted Answer

Once your company has submitted at least one account for collection via our secure assignment form, you can then assign an unlimited number of past-due business customers for collections quickly. Just send over your accounts on an Excel spreadsheet or almost any CSV format. We’ll custom-design an import process based on your company’s needs and have all your accounts in our system, ready to go within minutes, whether you need 20 accounts collected, or 2,000. Questions? Please contact our office.
