Terms
& Conditions
We
agree to represent you on a fee basis of a 1/3 contingency of amounts
collected. If any claim is
under $750.00, over 1 year old, has previously been placed with another
Attorney or Collection Agency, or we must forward the claim to Co-Counsel in
another state, our fee will rise to 40%. If
merchandise is returned we will be entitled to one-half of the above
referenced fee. If the matter
involves your forwarding to us an out of state judgment to domesticate, we
charge an additional $1,000.00 fee which is due if and when we initiate
domestication proceedings.
You
will be responsible for all court costs incurred by this firm in collecting
this debt. These costs are only
incurred should you authorize us to file suit.
They usually consist of a filing fee to the Clerk of Court of up to
$256.00, depending on the amount of the suit; a service fee to the Sheriff of
approximately $25.00 per Defendant per location; and $40.00 to certify and
record the Judgment, and file our judgment lien with the State of Florida, if
and when we obtain judgment. We
also charge a $20.00 miscellaneous cost charge and a $5.00 corporate
information search charge should we file suit.
Immediately
upon arrival at this office, a file is opened that day.
Unless you request us to move immediately to legal action a demand
letter will immediately be forwarded to the debtor requesting that he/she
contact us and pay this debt in full. The
file is then turned over to our collector/investigators who attempt to locate
the debtor, locate assets, and obtain payment or a payment plan from the
debtor, subject to your approval. If
we are unsuccessful in amicably resolving the debt, we will then notify you as
to whether suit is recommended. If
suit is authorized by you, we will file same immediately and vigorously
proceed to judgment and collection.
You
agree that we are entitled to our fee on any payments, credits, or return
merchandise that are sent or authorized directly to your office after the date
we open our file. Should we obtain
a Judgment for you, or domesticate same, we
will be entitled to our fee at any time the Judgment is paid, whether our file
is closed or not.
Should
a counterclaim be filed in this matter and you wish us to represent you, an
additional fee will be charged. If
this matter shall go to jury trial an additional trial fee may be charged.
You
as client acknowledge and waive any conflict resulting from the fact that
Sprechman & Associates, P.A. may represent multiple creditors against a
single debtor and understand that such representation is performed on a
first-in-time basis.
The
terms of this written agreement shall not be varied, altered, contradicted,
modified or in any way supplemented unless such additional terms or conditions
shall be drafted and prepared in writing and signed by all parties of interest
to this agreement; otherwise, this agreement is intended as the final
expression between the parties and shall govern.
In the event of any dispute all parties agree that jurisdiction and
venue shall be in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
