A good rule of thumb is to consider placing an account with a collection agency after 60 to 90 days of non-payment and at least two to three failed attempts to collect on your own. Waiting too long reduces the odds of recovery. If a customer has ignored your invoices, stopped responding to calls, or made promises to pay that they've broken, those are strong signals that it's time to bring in a professional collection agency.

HF Holdings operates on a contingency fee model, which means you pay nothing unless we collect. Our fee is a percentage of the amount recovered. The specific rate depends on factors like the debt's age, the account balance, and the complexity of the case. There are no upfront fees and no monthly charges. In cases requiring legal action, a flat case-management or court-filing fee may apply, and we will always discuss those costs with you before proceeding.

Yes. Our skip tracing tools are specifically designed for situations where a debtor has relocated, changed phone numbers, or otherwise become difficult to reach. Skip tracing uses a combination of proprietary databases, public records, and digital search methods to locate current contact information for your debtor. Many small business owners give up on accounts simply because they can't reach the customer. We can often find them when you can't.

This is a concern we hear often, and it's a fair one. Our approach is professional and non-confrontational. We communicate clearly, offer payment plan options, and treat debtors with respect. For customers you'd like to retain, let us know when you place the account and we'll calibrate our approach accordingly. Many businesses maintain ongoing relationships with customers even after a collection event, especially when the process is handled professionally.

We work with small businesses across a wide range of industries, including contractors and trade businesses, landscaping and lawn care companies, medical and dental practices, retail and e-commerce businesses, staffing agencies, professional service firms, and many others. If your business is owed money and has exhausted basic collection efforts, we're ready to help regardless of your industry.
