How long should I wait before turning over my past due accounts for collection?

The sooner you turn it over—the greater the chances of collection!

Why should I have an attorney collect my past due accounts rather than a collection agency?

A collection agency can only “nag” the debtor- which most debtors know. The collection agency has no real enforcement power to collect your money. When the debtor receives a request from an attorney to pay your money, he or she knows that their delay or refusal will only cost them more time and money. And, because a collection agency must from time to time hire an attorney, they typically charge more to cover their fees as well as the attorney's fees.
