How
much does Harvest Associates, Inc
services cost?
We
don’t earn any fees unless we collect
your money. There is no upfront cost. We earn a percentage
of what we collect for
you. The percentage is based on volume and competitive considerations.
What about credit reporting?
We are set up with the three major credit reporting agencies.
We will report the accounts to the credit bureaus unless you
request otherwise. Reporting can be a very effective tool in
collecting your debt.
What methods are available for getting the accounts to HAI for
collection?
We currently get accounts on paper and electronically. If volume
warrants, we will have custom programming done at our expense
to get your accounts downloaded electronically into our system.
How long has HAI been in business?
Harvest Associates, Inc. was incorporated in 1993. We have over
75 years of collective experience in the collections business.
What geographical areas do you service?
We can collect in all 50 states.
How do I know how well you are performing for me?
We
provide monthly reports with your monthly remittances for funds
that we have received. The monthly reports
give you and
us a clear picture of how well we are performing. Remember, if
we don’t perform, we don’t earn any fees.
Do I need to sign a contract to engage your services?
No. We do have a Client Agreement which states our fee percentage
and how we handle your funds. It is a requirement that you report
any funds received directly to us. It is not ethical to continue
collection efforts and report to a credit bureau if the account
has been paid.
