How can I place an account for collection?
Established clients may use our website as the quickest and easiest way to submit a claim. If you prefer, you may complete a claim placement form and submit it along with your supporting documentation by email, fax, or mail.

Can I place an account for collection even if I don’t have a credit application from our customer?

Does NACM handle foreign collection accounts?
Yes, NACM collects internationally.

When should I turn an account over for collection?
Studies have shown that debtors are more likely to pay once a third party gets involved. After three months, the probability of collecting a delinquent account drops to 69.6%, after 6 months 52.1% and after one year 22.8%. It’s in your company’s best interest to send your accounts to collections sooner, rather than later.

My account is over a year old. Is it too old to collect?
No, the statute of limitations ranges from 3 to 10 years depending on the state the debtor resides in. We ask you to send supporting documentation for review.

Does NACM report debtors to the credit bureaus?
NACM reports all commercial debts to the NACM and Experian Business databases. We do not report consumer debts to any credit bureau.
