		<description><![CDATA[ We currently deal with numerous check cashers, all over the state of Florida.  We have worked numerous checks in house, as well as outsourced to other agencies.  We are probably the only agency that has taken on the recovery of every type of check including counterfeit, fraud, stop payments, as well as you simple nsf, and closed account.  We have been swamped with work, and the collectibility of these checks are based mainly on speed.  My question is; Is their a  forum where I could look for an agency, or attorney's office?  I know that their are forums out there, I just do not know the names. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ <BR>1st Macon Bank/Trust  is currently owed money in the amount of $2972.69 by American Express company and the listed reason is Drafts. This is from fiscal year 1998.<BR><BR>I send a letter to the company that bought the original owner alerting them to the accounting discrepancy and a request for a goodwill compensation of 5% ( roughly 150 bucks). This alot easier then trying to beat out some kind of contract or beat money out of some debtor for that matter.<BR><BR>     ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The number one residential lender and broker are now turning their attention to the collection industry. Great Southwest Mortgage and its parent company First Magnus Finacial Corporation has opened a new division called the NATIIONAL RECOVERY CENTER based in Phoenix, AZ. They hired Wesley J Alford to build, and operate its NRC which focuses only on assisting collection agencies and collectors on the recovery of collection debt through refinancing real property. The H.E.L.P. Program aka the Home Equity Loan Program was developed to help agencies increase their liquidation rates with current clients, and to asisst debt buyers on liquidating their portfolios at higher levels.<BR>Wes Alford comes from an exstensive 3rd party collection back ground. As a collection manager, and Director he brings alot of debt recovery knowledge to this lending giant.<BR>He has also formed a group of Account Executives who are highly trained to handle debtors, and work with collectors. They business plan was to structure the National Recovery Center as a collection agency. Mr. Alford speaks to us regarding that concept.<BR><BR>"having used mortgage companies in the past, and dealing with the frustrations of loan officers, I knew that in order for us to keep our clients happy, and do the best job possible, we would have to think, like our clients, and put our clients first. The first thing I did was impliment a PRIME TIME policy. This would mean that our loan officers would have to work the same schedual as a collector. Second was to hire ex-collectors who knew how to talk with debtors, and who understood the importance for urgency. Third, we had to have programs and loan products available to the debtors that other lenders did not have. So I hired a full time Product and Pricing manager. This person spends their entire day locating new lenders we can broker loans to, as well as keeping updated with our own refinancing programs. And last but not least, with our underwriters and funders in house we can close loans as quickly as 2 weeks. We know how important that is to a collection agency and its clients and collectors. Volume, the more calls you make the more debtors you talk to, the more money you collect right?"<BR><BR>With a liquidation rate as high as 80% with some clients, we are sure to hear more from this National Recovery Center, and their team of recovery specialists. To get more information regarding the H.E.L.P. Program call their marketing department. 866-545-7496  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Ok, I know banks can send 1099's when they forgive a debt. My understanding is that you cant send a 1099 for a write-off if you plan to sell the debt. It has to be a forgiven debt.<BR><BR>I also know collection agencies do it too...but under some controversy. Id like to research if my company can legally send 1099's. Our corporation is a group of staffing companies. We provide staff, pay their payrol and my division is credit and collections: collecting the payroll from the companies that used our staff. <BR><BR>We are not "lenders", however we extend credit by paying our temps and billing them under Net30 terms.<BR><BR>Can anyone provide me with caselaw, or any links, or any insight as to if I can send 1099's on my forgiven debts?  ]]></description>
