This is our most thorough and successful approach utilizing local counsel in all major metropolitan cities around the world. Typically used in those instances where the daily outstanding balance has fallen into the net 90 category or is deemed unacceptable, or when the debt is in danger of being classified as a bad debt necessitating a bad debt reserve, or when the company is in breach of contract, liens of judgments have been filed, bankruptcy is a possibility, or their status as an ongoing concern is in doubt.
This less aggressive approach is ideal for the situation where the customer relationship is to be preserved.

It is also commonly used where the customer is paying current invoices but has neglected past due amounts. It could be characterized as a modification of existing billing policy where diplomacy is key.
