After receiving your account via our Claim Request Form, NJIC reviews and formulates a collection process based upon numerous factors including aspects of the client’s industry. Typically, our collection effort begins with a demand letter including documentation provided to us by the client, which validates the veracity of the debt obligation. Depending on the response, or non-response, NJIC collectors will follow up with emails, calls or text messages to get the attention of the debtor to come to an amicable resolution. NJIC will accept no settlement without the client’s authorization.

National Judgment Investment Corp. is a national debt recovery firm. NJIC collects monies due to commercial creditors who are owed by commercial debtors. Unlike “traditional collection agencies”, NJIC uses experienced collectors who are collection attorneys, paralegals and trained business professionals. Based upon NJIC’s extensive lawyer network, NJIC can pursue debtors anywhere in the world. This allows NJIC to handle a creditor’s claim from initial placement through to post-judgment recovery.

NJIC’s fees on straight collections are always contingent upon the recovery of any monies. If no recovery is made then there is no fee due to NJIC. NJIC’s straight collection fees are listed in the Fee section of this site and range from 20% to 45% depending upon the dollar amount of the claim. If litigation is required, NJIC’s contingency fees are typically 35% of the amount of the recovery. Depending on the nature, age and/or size of the claim, in some situations, there may be charged a non-contingent suit fee to place the claim into litigation. This charge will only be imposed if approved by the client and NJIC.

We include a discussion of fees on our fees page.

NJIC remits to our clients once a month. Our remittance check is accompanied by a Trust Statement, which lists the client’s account placed with NJIC together with our commission fee rate. The Trust Statement will break out NJIC’s and the client’s commissions on the payment recovered from the debtor.

NJIC looks at its relationship with its clients as partnerships meaning we may require the clients’ assistance in recovering the outstanding debt obligation after the account is placed. For instance, after placement, we require the client to turn back the delinquent customer to NJIC in the event the customer contacts the client after NJIC’s demand notice. It is important to have “one voice” in the management of the collection process and allow NJIC to do its job. From time-to-time, NJIC may also need the client to provide additional documentation, which allows us to further validate the balance due and owing.

NJIC will always exhaust all avenues of recovery before a discussion about litigation with the client takes place. NJIC will only recommend suit if we believe (1) the customer is in business, (2) any customer dispute is meritless, and (3) the customer is solvent to satisfy the suit to be filed either pre- or post-judgment. Once these threshold requirements are answered and the client authorizes NJIC to move forward, we will select co-counsel to work on drafting the complaint and otherwise assisting in the prosecution of the action. The client will be responsible for court costs, which NJIC will review with the client before any suit is filed. Typically, court costs range from $350.00-$700.00 depending on the venue of the action. Our fee for litigating is generally 35% contingency, which includes a payment to our co-counsel; there are no hourly rates.
