Start Early – Recover MoreWe all know that the older an account gets, the harder it becomes to collect. But did you know that at 60–90 days past due accounts begin to depreciate at the acceleratedrate of ½% per day? At 180 days past due, consumer accounts have depreciated to the point where only 30% on average will ever be recovered.

Getting Better Results• We recover more because we start earlier.

– We recover more than traditional agencies because:• We work ALL of the accounts the same way, regardless of the size

or the balance.• Most percentage-based agencies work only the accounts with

higher balances that are the most cost effective for them, leaving the smaller balances uncollected.

• Our fixed fee, diplomatic service allows you to have us get started early in the process with the increased impact of third party intervention.

“…studies by the American Collectors Association show that 80% of all the monies collected by agencies are collected as a result of letters.”

What our clients say…• “I’d recommend Transworld Systems to any business large or small that’s fed up with slow paying or

delinquent customers and would like to get paid sooner without worrying about losing future business”

» SYSCO Food Services

• “Boy, was I surprised! Not only have you gotten our accounts paid faster than we used to by ourselves, but by you letting our clients know in a nice way that we need our money you’ve reduced the strain that had been building up in the relationships. Better still, once they understand our situation, they start paying on time regularly. » American Linen

• “We’ve been using your service for the last seven years and have recently renewed for the fourth time. We had tried several other collection agencies prior to TSI, but we have stayed with you because you have produced results far superior to any other agency we ever used. TSI’s nationwide coverage affords us the opportunity to pursue accounts across the country for an amount that is much less than it would cost us, making TSI very cost effective.”» AAA Motor Club

• “We have been using TSI at this location for three years now and the results have been nothing less than outstanding - 69%!! The demands for payment are diplomatic and yet very effective. It’s easy to see why Marriott Hotels chose to use Transworld Systems nationwide. You have our recommendation for any business looking to simplify collection procedures”

» Marriott Hotels

• “Many of our balances are small so we needed a service that would work for all of our balances not just the big ones. TSI has really come through. Collection success rate is great, cost is reasonable and best of all, my time is freed up to concentrate on my business and paying customers.”
