Bill Collector In A Box
provides a centralized way to record, manage and
track your collection campaign. This easy-to-use PC
software package was designed by a debt collection
professional to provide a proven, structured
framework for your collection efforts. Here are a few
of the many features included in this industry
leading debt collection software that's
tailored for the needs of small businesses and
entrepreneurs.
Make it hard for your
debtor to ignore you -
Print
unlimited, professional demand letters for one low
price
Bill Collector In A Box includes professional form
letters for every type of obligation: bad checks,
credit card charge-offs, judgments, overdue rent,
past-due loans, etc. All these letters conform to
state and federal requirements.
Unlike other programs, which just offer demand
letters and charge you after you print a certain
quantity, all these professional letters are included
with Bill Collector In A Box. You can print as many
as you need at no additional charge, and the software
tracks who was sent which letter, and what the next
step should be. See example Sample Letters
here.
Report your debtor to the major credit
bureaus
This powerful feature allows you to report your
past-due customers to the two major credit bureaus
for as little as $5.00 per customer. By adding this
report to your debtor's credit record you are
securing your place in the payment process for as
long as 7 years.
Report
bad checks to S.C.A.N
 |
Used by more than 70,000 Retailers
and Banks. |
Nothing will get you paid faster than a customer who
owes you money being handed a denial card the next
time he or she writes a check when in a busy checkout
line at a major retail store or bank. When you report
a bad check to SCAN, your debtor's checks are
not accepted at any of these 70,000 retail and bank
subscribers until your check is paid off and you
remove him or her from SCAN. The SCAN record stays on
file for up to 5 years and costs only $1.50 per
check.
Up the
ante: send letters from a collection
agency
Sometimes a letter from your business demanding
payment just doesn't move your customer into
'payment mode.' In this case a series of
three letters from a collection agency is sure to
effect a more committed resolve by the debtor to pay
off the debt. The letters graduate in intensity and
include a return payment envelope and a payment stub
addressed directly to your company, not the
collection agency. The price for this feature is $6
for 3 letters sent over 45 days.
Track
down somebody who's trying to evade
you
Skip Tracing is the process of locating someone who
has left town, changed all his/her phone numbers,
changed jobs, etc. in an effort to avoid creditors.
We offer three levels of professional-grade skip
tracing, all built into Bill Collector In A Box.

Select this feature (25 Included with initial
purchase); and you will receive updated address,
phone, and employment information (if available)
automatically updated to the comments section of your
debtor every Monday.

This feature consists of name, address, Social
Security number verification, home#, work#, cell#,
asset search, criminal history, property ownership,
employment, up to 10 family members name, address and
phones, spouse verification, and alternate addresses.
The information is manually verified by a private
investigator and returned to you in a Word document
via email. The charge for this feature is $95.00
- one of these is included with the purchase
price of the software. Great value!

The ultimate method to locate missing collateral
(bond jumpers, vehicles, rental equipment). This is a
60-day search that is personally managed by our
investigators. You pay nothing if we don't
locate what you are looking for.
Full features can be applied to
cosigners
Cosigners are a fact of life in some businesses; they
can and should be held accountable. Our software
allows you to report cosigners to the credit bureaus,
SCAN, skip-trace them, and include them in the
letter-printing features.

Collect your money
efficiently -
Enable payment with credit cards and bank account
debit
Built into Bill Collector In A Box is the ability for
you to accept payment via credit card or by direct
debit (EFT/ACH) - all without any
additional equipment. In fact, you use this feature
and throw away that old merchant terminal you
currently use to process credit and debit cards. This
service can be used for all your processing needs,
not just your past due accounts and PPI (our
electronic payment partner) will pay you $50.00 just
for completing the sign-up process.
Define payment options in letters
with a click
Don't accept credit cards or checks? You decide
which payment options are available to your customers
by enabling any of them in the company setup screen.
The payment stub you send will then reflect your
customers' payment options to you so you
don't end up receiving payments that you cannot
process.
Email collection
letters
If you communicate primarily by email, or your
customer prefers this method, send them a demand
letter by email. This saves your company postage and
speeds delivery. See example Sample Letters
here.
Batch sending of letters &
emails
Print letters to customers individually, or to all
via our batch letter processing feature. This makes
quick work of 1-1,000 debtors. See example
Sample Letters here.
Post payments or adjustments
easily
Bill Collector In A Box makes payment posting
compliant and fast. Enter the date, amount,
adjustment or payment, and Bill Collector In A Box
breaks the payment down (principal, fees, interest)
- so you don't have to.

Organize & manage your
collection campaign -
Organize customer data & manage your
contacts
No more piles of files on your desk, no more jogging
down the hall to dig out the customer's contact
info: store it all in Bill Collector In A Box. Did
you remember to call the customer that wanted to pay
by phone today? No worries: the built-in tickler
system will remind you to call or write your
customers as scheduled and stay on top of your
collection campaign.
Exchange data with popular accounting
programs

We have entered data of millions of wrinkled,
coffee-stained, illegible accounts into our system.
We don't like it, so we didn't think you
would either. Simply export your past-due accounts
from your accounting or POS system into the
industry-standard .csv format for easy import into
Bill Collector In A Box.
Record your collection
campaign activities
Our contacts field adds a brief notation for every
written, telephone, or feature usage on each
customer. So you'll know where you're at
with each one and can keep an eye on the progress
you're making.
Manage accounts of two separate
companies
Entrepreneurs often have their hand in more than one
business, so our software allows you to manage two
companies at once. Coming soon: management of more
than two companies.
Online help
bubbles to guide you

and useful information about the field next to it.

also integrate custom reports on request - just
ask us.

references
Lenders - we've got you covered: we have

those countless credit and personal references so you
don't have to dig out the file every time you
want to reach a reference. Comes in handy when a
debtor's phone goes bad.
Safely backup your data
Backup your data with a couple of clicks to a flash
card, 3.5" floppy, removable drive, CD/DVD, or

rate? Bill Collector In A Box users enjoy the same

occurrence reminder, and an email address disclosure.
These can be turned off at any time as you see fit or
when the message has been addressed.

collection agency. Bill Collector In A Box lets you
forward any account to a professional collection
agency at a 38% commission rate - that's
