Process Service: Critical Link in Debt Collection Litigation

In the legal landscape, process serving plays a vital role in ensuring due process by delivering notifications of pending litigation. While it doesn’t directly influence case outcomes, it facilitates the proper notification process required by law. However, it’s important to note that the reliability and efficiency of process serving companies can vary significantly, impacting the effectiveness of the notification process.

The following is a DRAMATIZATION AND IS NOT AN ACTUAL EVENT: Take the case of a $20K credit account placed with a collection agency. Their non-specialized process server attempted to serve the outdated address they had on file resulting in a failure due to bad location. Weeks wasted chasing faulty information without establishing contact or confirming facts. Eventually, the account placed with 360 Legal, who quickly identified the current employer and completed authoritative service. The clock started on the dispute period, supporting eventual wage garnishment meeting state regulations. Had the outdated address remained unchallenged, the creditor would still be chasing bad leads unable to take collection actions. Avoiding similar issues, our teams complete comprehensive skip-tracing confirming locations and parties prior to serving. Plaintiff firms further depend on us to establish proper proof of service evidencing notifications should defaults face any scrutiny.

Optimize Response and Resolution Rates

The following is a DRAMATIZATION AND IS NOT AN ACTUAL EVENT: Acme Law placed 1200 accounts for collections asserting $3.5 M in damages. Initial internal efforts only yielded 15% contact and 5% settlement rates via mailed legal notices. By partnering with us, implementing advanced outreach methods like GPS-timestamped door service and text enabled web portals, their average account response doubled to 30%. Settlement rates also climbed to over 15%, generating millions in previously unlikely recoveries.

Unlike defendants avoiding mailboxes, personal service grants highest likelihood the message is directly received and read. Our multi-channel capabilities further ensure notices penetrate hard-to-reach demographics like renters, traveling workers, and cash businesses frequently targeted for evasion.

Expedite Case Progression

The following is a DRAMATIZATION AND IS NOT AN ACTUAL EVENT: A legal firm of Warrington & Young struggled with 101 default judgment cases awaiting necessary filings to advance debt recovery. Staffing limitations only allowed them to process a few cases per week until bringing us in. Rapid service completion on all affidavits of service instantly met filing requirements, pushing the accounts into enforcement stages to gain liens, levies, and payment plans. 

Legal firms often get slowed down by waiting on paperwork before they can move cases forward. Our team steps in to complete fast, compliant service that meets requirements.  It also frees up the firm’s resources so they can take on more business and save money compared to drawn-out processes.

Access Custom Tech Integrations

The following is a DRAMATIZATION AND IS NOT AN ACTUAL EVENT: As a large debt buyer, Devon Capital struggled with disparate data and visibility across outsourced enforcement agents. By implementing 360 Legal’s Totalview software,they got an overview dashboard that let them monitor their cases and see real-time updates on their accounts while being worked. The improved visibility and coordination streamlined workflows, reduced redundancies, optimized placement routing, and strengthened compliance oversight. They could also pull custom reports to make smarter decisions about where to invest money. This helped them predict which accounts were likely to pay debts and which agents did the best job getting settlements.

Big collection agencies often struggle to manage cases smoothly when their systems don’t connect well. Our service can hook up securely to the agency’s different software and databases. This shares information seamlessly between the agency’s teams, their clients, law firms, and our servers. So instead of a tangled mess, everything works together smartly for smooth operations.
