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 serves to formally transfer the rights to collect a past-due account from the original creditor (Assignor) to a collection agency or attorney (Assignee). It allows the Assignee to take over the collection efforts and provides legal backing for the process.

Any business or individual in New York that has a past-due account and wishes to assign it to a collection agency or attorney can use this form. It is particularly useful for those who have made multiple attempts to collect the debt without success.

Typically, the Assignee will charge a fee that is a percentage of the total amount owed. This fee structure is agreed upon in the assignment document and can vary based on the agency or attorney's policies.

While assigning an account can increase the chances of collection, it also means that the Assignor relinquishes control over the account. Additionally, the Assignor may not receive the full amount owed, as the Assignee will take a fee for their services.

The hold harmless clause protects the Assignor from any claims or legal actions related to the assigned account once it has been transferred to the Assignee. This means that the Assignor cannot be held liable for any issues that arise during the collection process.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Businesses that have exhausted their internal collection efforts may find it necessary to assign a past-due account to a collection agency. This allows the agency to take over the collection process, potentially improving the chances of recovering the owed amount.
  • Individuals facing challenges in collecting payments from clients can utilize this form to formally assign the debt to a legal firm. By doing so, they can leverage the firm's expertise in debt recovery, which may lead to a quicker resolution.
  • In situations where a company needs to maintain cash flow, assigning accounts receivable to a collection agency can be a strategic move. This enables the company to receive a portion of the owed amount upfront while the agency handles the collection efforts.
  • For those who wish to mitigate the risk of future claims related to the assigned account, this document includes a hold harmless provision. This ensures that the Assignor is protected from any legal repercussions once the account is transferred.
  • Situations requiring legal intervention for debt recovery can benefit from this assignment form. It formalizes the transfer of rights to collect the debt, ensuring that all future payments are directed to the Assignee.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for accounts that are still being actively disputed by the debtor. In such cases, it is advisable to resolve the dispute before assigning the account to avoid complications.
  • – If the account is not significantly past due, using this assignment may not be necessary. It is typically more effective for accounts that have been overdue for an extended period and have seen no payment attempts.
  • – Situations where the debtor has filed for bankruptcy should be approached with caution. Assigning an account in such cases may not yield any recovery and could complicate the legal process.
  • – For debts that are small in amount, the cost of assigning the account to a collection agency might outweigh the benefits. In these cases, it may be more practical to pursue collection through internal means.
  • – If the Assignor wishes to maintain a relationship with the debtor, assigning the account may jeopardize that relationship. This form is better suited for situations where the relationship is no longer viable.
