This document is one of the methods to follow-up the final demand for payment. With this document, the past-due account is entirely turned over to either a collection agency or attorney for further collection procedures. This form is an actual assignment of the account to the firm who then actually owns the account and will continue any attempts at collection. It provides that the Assignee (the firm who will be taking over the collection procedures) pays your company (the Assignor, or the “one who assigns”) an amount for the rights to collect the Account. The fee paid is generally a percentage of the amount due. Under this method of collection, all future payments are to be paid to the Assignee firm. Another method for handling collection is provided in our “Appointment of Collection Agent” form.

Among others, this form includes the following provisions:
• Amount Owed
• Hold Harmless for Claims

Frequently Asked Questions

The purpose of this form is to legally transfer the rights to collect a debt from the original creditor (assignor) to a collection agency or attorney (assignee). This allows the assignee to take over all collection efforts on behalf of the assignor.

Typically, the assignee will pay the assignor a percentage of the total amount due as a fee for the rights to collect the account. This fee can vary based on the agreement between the parties and the amount of debt involved.

Yes, you can assign multiple accounts to a collection agency or attorney using this form. It is advisable to list all accounts clearly to ensure the assignee understands which debts they are responsible for collecting.

Once the account has been assigned, all future payments must be directed to the assignee. The assignor will no longer have any rights to collect on the assigned account.

Yes, this form is designed for use in all states, but it is always recommended to consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations regarding debt collection.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Businesses that have exhausted their internal collection efforts may find this form essential for transferring a delinquent account to a collection agency. By doing so, they can focus on their core operations while ensuring that professionals handle the collection process.
  • Individuals who are owed money and wish to formalize the transfer of collection rights to an attorney can utilize this document. This assignment allows the attorney to take over the collection efforts, providing the individual with peace of mind that their case is being actively pursued.
  • In situations where a company has a significant amount of overdue invoices, this form can be used to assign those accounts to a collection agency. This not only helps in recovering funds but also improves cash flow by delegating the collection responsibility to experts.
  • For those dealing with multiple delinquent accounts, using this assignment form can streamline the collection process. By assigning all accounts to a single agency or attorney, the assignor simplifies communication and tracking of collections.
  • Organizations that want to mitigate risk associated with non-payment can use this document to assign accounts to a collection firm. This approach not only transfers the risk but also ensures that the collection agency is motivated to recover the owed amounts efficiently.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate if the debtor is currently disputing the debt. In such cases, it is essential to resolve the dispute before assigning the account to avoid legal complications.
  • If the assignor is not willing to relinquish all rights to the account, using this form would not be suitable. The assignment is a complete transfer of rights, and partial assignments are typically not recognized.
  • In situations where the account is still within the grace period for payment, it may be premature to use this form. It is advisable to wait until the account is officially past due before assigning it for collection.
  • If the assignor has already initiated legal proceedings against the debtor, this form should not be used. Legal actions may complicate the assignment process and require a different approach.
  • For accounts that are considered uncollectible or have been written off, this form is not appropriate. Assigning such accounts may not yield any financial benefit and could waste resources.
