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

Typically, the assignee pays the assignor a percentage of the total amount owed, which is agreed upon in the assignment document. This fee compensates the assignee for their collection efforts.

While this form is designed for accounts that are past due, it is essential to ensure that the debt is legally assignable and that all parties involved comply with relevant laws.

If the assignee is unsuccessful in collecting the debt, the assignor may not receive any payment, as the assignment typically transfers the rights to collect entirely.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Businesses seeking to recover unpaid invoices can utilize this form to officially assign their accounts to a collection agency. This allows them to transfer the responsibility of collection to professionals who specialize in recovering debts, thus saving time and resources.
  • Individuals who have exhausted all options for collecting a debt may find this document useful. By assigning the account to a collection firm, they can ensure that the debt is pursued legally and effectively, increasing the likelihood of recovery.
  • In situations where a company has a significant amount of overdue accounts, using this assignment form can streamline the collection process. It enables the organization to focus on its core operations while the assignee handles the complexities of debt collection.
  • For those who wish to formalize the transfer of collection rights, this document serves as a legal instrument to do so. It provides clarity on the terms of the assignment and protects the interests of both the assignor and the assignee.
  • Organizations that frequently deal with delinquent accounts may implement this form as part of their standard operating procedures. This proactive approach helps maintain cash flow and reduces the burden of unpaid debts.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the debt is still being disputed by the debtor. If there are ongoing negotiations or disputes, it is advisable to resolve those issues before assigning the account.
  • – In cases where the assignor wishes to retain some control over the collection process, this assignment may not be suitable. The form transfers all rights to the assignee, which may not align with the assignor's intentions.
  • – If the debt is very small or not worth the cost of collection, using this form may not be practical. Assigning accounts with minimal value can lead to unnecessary expenses and complications.
  • – This document should not be used if the assignor is not legally permitted to assign the debt. Certain debts may have restrictions or conditions that prevent assignment, making this form inappropriate.
  • – For debts that are not yet overdue, this assignment form is not applicable. It is intended for accounts that have already reached a past-due status.
