Judicial Services Group

Overview of Court Collection Processes

This is a comprehensive overview of the collection process employed by the Court Services Agency (CSA) for court receivables. Unlike conventional collection agencies that prioritize accounts based solely on their dollar value, Judicial Services Group is dedicated to pursuing all accounts diligently. We recognize that individuals facing various fines and costs have different capacities to settle their debts. Hence, we emphasize equal efforts across all cases to boost the closure rate and diminish outstanding fines and costs for the courts we serve.

Enhanced Communication Strategies

Our primary focus at Judicial Services Group is on direct communication via phone calls. Unlike letters, phone calls have proven to be more effective in securing payments promptly. While we initiate contact with an initial letter informing the defendant of their account's transfer to our compliance department, subsequent letters, serve to augment our phone-based collection efforts. Our experience indicates that initial and warrant letters yield the most effective responses. Additionally, we utilize payment reminder notices and automated phone reminders to prompt defendants to make partial payments, resulting in a significant reduction in broken promises by over sixty percent (60%).

Proactive Information Retrieval

Furthermore, as an expert CSA, we conduct thorough skip-tracing searches to locate current contact information for defendants, including proactive measures such as verifying addresses before dispatching the initial letter. This proactive approach ensures that we maximize revenue for the court from the outset and minimize returned mail due to undelivered addresses.

No Cost Court Collections

Our approach to No Cost Court Collections is guided by several key objectives:

  • Enhancing and expediting cash flow to the court from delinquent cases
  • Minimizing or eliminating collection-related expenses for your court
  • Cultivating positive client relations through prompt, responsive service
  • Providing tools that optimize workflows, making revenue officers more effective and efficient, thereby enhancing the court's revenue stream
  • Increasing the frequency of phone contacts with delinquent defendants through efficient call management

Increased phone contacts not only boost cash flow but also expedite it, positively impacting receivables, reducing caseloads, and minimizing outstanding bad debt. Our streamlined phone follow-up procedures ensure that increased phone contacts translate into improved compliance and revenue for your court.

At Judicial Services Group, we aim to absorb the costs associated with the collection of delinquent accounts owed to the court. Our compliance fees can be added to the defendant's balance, with us only receiving payment after the court has received its dues, including any additional compliance fees owed on the case.
