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 document is to formally transfer the rights to collect a debt from the original creditor (Assignor) to a collection agency or attorney (Assignee). This allows the Assignee to pursue collection efforts on behalf of the Assignor.

Typically, the Assignee pays the Assignor a percentage of the amount owed as a fee for the rights to collect the account. This fee can vary based on the agreement between the parties involved.

While this form is designed for accounts that are past due, it is important to ensure that the debt is legally collectible and that all necessary legal requirements are met before proceeding with the assignment.

If the Assignee is unable to collect the debt, the Assignor may still have options available, such as pursuing legal action or exploring other collection methods. However, the rights to the debt have been transferred to the Assignee.

Yes, there may be statutes of limitations that apply to debt collection in Florida. It is advisable to act promptly and consult legal counsel to ensure compliance with these time limits.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have exhausted all other avenues for collecting a debt may choose to use this Assignment of Account for Collection to formally transfer the debt to a collection agency. This allows them to focus on other business operations while the agency handles the collection process.
  • Businesses facing persistent non-payment from clients can utilize this document to assign the account to a legal firm. By doing so, they can ensure that a professional entity is pursuing the debt, which may increase the likelihood of recovery.
  • In situations where the amount owed is significant, a company might opt for this assignment to avoid the costs associated with continued in-house collection efforts. The assigned firm will take over the collection, often employing more aggressive tactics to recover the funds.
  • For those who prefer to mitigate their risk, using this form allows them to transfer the responsibility of collection to a third party. This can provide peace of mind, knowing that a professional is handling the situation and that they will receive a portion of the collected amount.
  • Situations requiring legal intervention for debt recovery can benefit from this assignment. By formally assigning the account to an attorney, the original creditor can ensure that all legal avenues are explored to recover the owed funds.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if the debt is still being actively disputed by the debtor. In such cases, it is better to resolve the dispute before transferring the account to a collection agency.
  • – If the debt is relatively small, it may not be cost-effective to assign it to a collection agency. The fees associated with the assignment may exceed the amount owed.
  • – In situations where the creditor has a long-standing relationship with the debtor, using this form may damage that relationship. It is often better to attempt personal collection efforts first.
  • – This assignment should not be used if the creditor is not prepared to relinquish all rights to the account. Once assigned, the Assignee will have full control over the collection process.
  • – If the debtor is currently under bankruptcy protection, this form cannot be used to collect the debt until the bankruptcy case is resolved.
