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

This document is used to formally assign a past-due account to a collection agency or attorney, allowing them to take over the collection efforts and own the rights to the account.

The two primary parties are the Assignor, who is the original creditor assigning the account, and the Assignee, who is the collection agency or attorney receiving the assignment.

Once the account is assigned, all future payments related to that account must be directed to the Assignee, who will handle the collection process.

Yes, typically the Assignee will pay the Assignor a percentage of the amount due as a fee for taking over the collection rights.

While it is primarily designed for accounts receivable, it is advisable to consult legal counsel to ensure it is appropriate for the specific type of debt being assigned.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who have exhausted all efforts to collect a past-due account may find this form essential. By assigning the account to a collection agency or attorney, they can transfer the responsibility of collection and focus on other business operations.
  • Businesses facing persistent non-payment from clients can utilize this document to formalize the transfer of their accounts receivable. This ensures that a professional entity takes over the collection process, potentially improving recovery rates.
  • For those looking to mitigate risks associated with unpaid debts, this assignment allows them to transfer the ownership of the account to a third party. This not only alleviates the burden of collection but also protects the original creditor from further claims related to the debt.
  • Situations requiring legal intervention for debt collection can benefit from this form. By assigning the account to an attorney, the creditor can leverage legal expertise to pursue the debt more effectively.
  • Companies that prefer to maintain a professional relationship with their clients while still pursuing overdue payments may opt for this assignment. It allows them to delegate the collection process while keeping the original account intact.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not suitable for accounts that are still actively being disputed by the debtor. If there are ongoing disputes, it is better to resolve those issues before assigning the account.
  • In cases where the creditor wishes to retain control over the collection process, using this assignment may not be appropriate. The form transfers ownership of the account, which means the creditor loses direct control.
  • If the debt is relatively small and the cost of collection exceeds the amount owed, it may not be practical to use this form. In such cases, other collection methods might be more cost-effective.
  • This assignment should not be used when the creditor is not willing to accept a fee for the assignment. If the creditor expects to collect the full amount without sharing it with the Assignee, this form would not be appropriate.
  • For debts that are already in litigation or bankruptcy proceedings, using this assignment may complicate the legal process. It is advisable to consult with legal counsel in such situations.
