A Positive Approach to Debt Recovery

Partner with Arbor Professional Solutions

Why Arbor Professional Solutions?

Your Debt Recovery Partner – Arbor Professional Solutions can provide a comprehensive, customized solution that will optimize your collections, maximize efficiency and improve your customer relations.

While there are many good reasons to use a debt recovery firm, there are three main benefits:

  • Debt collectors have the ability to collect when you may not be successful – overdue customers are much more likely to respond to collection agencies and pay their bills.
  • You can spend your time and resources on other priorities – a debt recovery firm can relieve you of the time-consuming work of debt collection.
  • Collection agencies have tools that you most likely do not – today's collection professionals have advanced tools to locate and communicate with overdue customers and follow up effectively.

Our Proven Process

At Arbor Professional Solutions, we have developed a highly effective debt recovery process that delivers exceptional results to our clients.

Our full service collection process begins immediately. Trans Union, Experian and Equifax credit reporting databases are impacted providing national representation of your receivables. The consumer’s ability to obtain future credit may be suspended until the debt has been paid or resolved to your satisfaction. Process continues with letters being sent and phone calls being made. We will always ask for payment in full. Legal action is taken only when all else fails. When we determine the consumer has the ability to pay but refuses, we recommend you consider litigation.

We will forward suit authorization papers for your review and approval. Once you have agreed, we will act as a conduit in the location of an attorney that will process your claim through the proper legal channels. Arbor Professional Solutions guarantees the best possible service and responsiveness to your needs.

We pride ourselves on the attention we give our clients. Remember we are only a phone call away to address any issues immediately, so you can attack the next challenge of your day.

Getting started with Arbor Professional Solutions is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3:

1 Sign the contract we provide to you.
2 Gather all your delinquent accounts and give us the necessary information we need to move forward.
3 Mail, fax or email those accounts to the right agency – Arbor Professional Solutions!
