Frequently Asked Questions:
 
How long have you been in business?
 
  International Collection Service, Inc. has roots dating back to 1951; however, ICS was incorporated in Florida on August 25, 1994.

 

Where is your office located?
 
  ICS is located at 255 South Tamiami Trail, Nokomis, Florida.  We are in southwest Florida, specifically in Sarasota County. 

 

Do you provide toll-free phone service to debtors?
 
  Yes, ICS provides 1-800-868-2540 to debtors.  This is printed on all notices and when telephone messages are left.

 

How much do you charge?
 
  Our typical fee is 40% contingent upon collection.  If we do not recover any money, we do not charge any money; there is no risk to you.  Volume discounts are available through an Internet Sales Consultant.

 

Will our rates ever change?
 
  No.  Once a rate is determined for you, it is set.  This is a straight line fee.  Only legal and forwarding accounts vary.

 

How does it work when an account goes to court?
 
  You will receive a letter from us recommending an account for suit.  If you wish to proceed, you must sign and return this letter before action can be taken.  The legal decision is up to you.  We will not recommend a case for court unless we have uncovered sufficient assets to satisfy a judgment.  We pay all court costs, legal fees, and attorney fees.  Suit is brought in our name to protect your public image.

What if the debtor pays us directly?

How often do we get an update on our accounts?
 
  Most clients are set up to receive an update on a quarterly basis; however, you may choose monthly, semi-annually, or annually.  You can also request additional updates whenever you need by calling our office.

 

Can reports be customized to fit my needs?
 
  Absolutely.  We have many reports to choose from, or you can write your own, and we will have it programmed into our system.
