“When you need collection services, I prefer to use Financial Control Solutions. I consult to many types of businesses, and the staff at FCS is knowledgeable and aggressive but always professional. They don't act like the other agencies with whom we've dealt, and that's a good thing.”
Gregory Marx, President, Business Associates, Inc.
“We reduced our over 120-day accounts from 700 to 150, and from $400,000 to $150,000, all in about 4-5 months. FCS gave us a system that worked. We had the discipline. FCS gave us the direction. Thank you... Thank you!”
Rhonda Davis, Office Mgr., Mokena Family Physicians
“We supply CRM and billing services to utility, property management and governmental authorities, and I was a senior executive for a receivables management firm for many years. My staff truly enjoys working with FCS. They are exceptionally responsive and effective. They should be an organizational model for the collection industry.”

If the debtor is a consumer, the collection fee rates depend upon volume. If the debtor is a business, the collection fees depend upon the face value of the accounts, and possibly volume. Please call us to quote a rate.
