Terms and Conditions
The following sets forth the agreement (the "Agreement") between
National Bureau Collection Corp. DBA CollectYourBills.com, Inc. ("we" or "us")
and you ("you")
as the person placing debt claims for collection:
1. If we ask, you'll send us copies of records evidencing the claimed debt.
We'll try to collect all or a portion of the debt except where prohibited by
law. We may elect not to accept any claims from you. If we collect some or all
of the debt, you'll pay us the following amounts:
Commercial Collections |
Consumer & Healthcare Collections |
Primary Placements - 25% per collection |
Primary Placements - 30% per collection |
Secondary Placements - 40% per collection |
Secondary Placements - 45% per collection |
Returned merchandise – 15% of amount placed for collection |
|
Debts paid prior to placement will be billed at above fees.
|
CYB will never litigate an account without your prior consent. Once
you authorize us to begin litigation, we will commence the action against the
delinquent account. All litigated accounts are billed at a fee of 50% of the
amount recovered plus court disbursement costs. Court disbursements are the
fees charged by the process-server to serve the summons and complaint. A fee
is also charged by the court to purchase an index / document number. Currently,
the disbursement fees do not exceed $450.00.
If you withdraw a debt more than 48 hours after placement, settle directly,
accept returned merchandise, or discover the account has been paid prior to
placement, you will be charged these rates. You agree
to notify us promptly if you receive a payment from a debtor after you have
placed the debt with us for payment, and to remit to us within 5 days after
payment the appropriate collection amount that you owe us; if you don't pay
us promptly, you will owe us a 5% penalty for each 30-day period for which
you don't make payment to us and you agree that the penalty amounts are fair
and reasonable. There will be additional charges by lawyers if you sue someone
to collect the debt.
2. You represent that the information you provide to us will not be false,
misleading or inaccurate, that the collection of the debt is authorized under
law and that you'll tell us if the information changes. You agree that we won't
be responsible for any damages if we take actions to collect debts based on
the information you give us. You'll tell us if you settle the debt or if the
person owing the debt disputes the debt or involves a lawyer or another third
party representative. You agree that you and anyone acting on your behalf will
comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and any other applicable
federal and state laws related to debt collection. You'll give us information
to contact only the person owing the debt.You will liable for our full fee on amount
placed, plus legal costs if any of the above is violated.
3. If we can't collect the debt after 3 months, we will, with your agreement, forward those
claims to a law firm for additional collection actions at no additional cost other than
as set forth in Section 1 above. We have the right to agree to delayed or installment
payments from a person owing the debt, but we won’t settle for less than 80% of the total
debt unless you agree. When we receive a payment, we will pay you promptly after the money
is available and we will endorse your name on any checks we receive in payment of the debt
and deduct our fees.
