OUR HISTORY...

NCO Receivables Management Solutions specializes in collections, loss prevention, and loss recovery solutions for business providers in a variety of markets.

NCO Receivables Management Solutions is located in Columbus, Ohio, and since beginning operations, we have positioned ourselves in the marketplace as an alternative to conventional (percentage) collection sources. We reference ourselves in this manner because we introduced credit grantors to a new system of accounts receivable management and collections, a system based on a preventive maintenance approach to cash flow management. Our approach is to prevent bad debt and write-offs by collecting accounts early in the delinquency cycle, when they are easier to recover. The NCO Receivables Management Solutions alternative resolved the major concerns that credit grantors had (and still have today) with using conventional collection sources:

  • Economical - NCO Receivables Management Solutions services are sold on a low, fixed-fee-per-account basis (typically averaging less than 10 percent of the amount owed) as opposed to the conventional contingent-fee approach with fees of typically 30 to 50 percent.
  • Exceptional results - As a result of our low fees, clients can afford to turn accounts over to us earlier in the delinquency cycle. NCO Receivables Management Solutions will typically get higher recoveries than agencies focusing their efforts on older, salvage accounts.
  • Preserves image - NCO Receivables Management Solutions employs techniques designed to educate and preserve the credit grantor's goodwill with the debtor. By doing so, alienation is minimized and future business from the debtor (if desired by the client) is possible.

This service is provided to small - to medium-sized credit grantors on a prepaid, low, fixed-fee, contract basis. In addition to this product offering, NCO Receivables Management Solutions also provides contingent-fee collection services to meet the needs of larger credit grantors.

NCO Receivables Management Solutions currently provides services to more than 30,000 clients and, through it's parent company (NCO), operates collection centers in major cities across the United States. In addition, there are multiple locations on the Australian continent and an operations center in England offering collection solutions and services to the global market outside of the United States.

NCO Receivables Management Solutions is a member of the American Creditors Association and is licensed and bonded in all states where required by law.
