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

An Assignment of Account for Collection is a legal document that allows a creditor to transfer the rights to collect a debt to a third party, such as a collection agency or attorney. This transfer enables the assignee to pursue collection efforts on behalf of the assignor.

Typically, the assignee pays the assignor a percentage of the amount due as compensation for the rights to collect the account. This fee structure can vary based on the agreement between the parties involved.

Once the account is assigned, all future payments must be directed to the assignee. The assignee then manages the collection process and retains the rights to any payments received.

Generally, once an assignment is executed, it cannot be revoked without the consent of the assignee. It is important to carefully consider the implications before finalizing the assignment.

Yes, the Assignment of Account for Collection is a legally binding document once signed by both parties. It establishes the rights and responsibilities of the assignor and assignee regarding the collection of the debt.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Businesses that have exhausted their internal collection efforts may find this form essential. By assigning the account to a collection agency or attorney, they can focus on their core operations while professionals handle the collection process.
  • Individuals who are owed money and wish to transfer the responsibility of collection to a third party can utilize this document. This allows them to relieve themselves of the stress associated with pursuing payment and ensures that a dedicated firm manages the account.
  • Situations requiring legal intervention for debt recovery can benefit from this assignment form. By officially assigning the account, the original creditor can ensure that all future payments are directed to the assignee, simplifying the collection process.
  • Companies dealing with multiple overdue accounts may choose this form to streamline their collection strategy. By consolidating accounts under a collection agency, they can improve efficiency and potentially recover more funds.
  • For those who want to ensure compliance with state laws regarding debt collection, using this form is advisable. It provides a clear legal framework for the assignment of accounts, protecting both parties involved in the transaction.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for accounts that are still being actively disputed by the debtor. If there are ongoing disputes regarding the validity of the debt, it is advisable to resolve those issues before assigning the account.
  • – In cases where the creditor wishes to retain control over the collection process, using this assignment form would not be suitable. The assignment transfers all rights to the assignee, which may not align with the creditor's intentions.
  • – If the debt is under a legal dispute or bankruptcy proceedings, this form should not be used. Legal complexities in such situations require different handling and may necessitate court approval.
  • – For debts that are relatively small and manageable, creditors may prefer to pursue collection independently rather than incurring additional fees associated with assigning the account.
  • – In situations where the creditor has a personal relationship with the debtor, it may be inappropriate to assign the account to a third party. Maintaining direct communication may be more beneficial in such cases.
