Appointment of Collection Agent

Through the use of this document, you appoint a collection agency to collect the delinquent account. This method of collection differs slightly from the actual assignment of the account for collection, in that the appointment of the agent for collection is only for a limited period of time and the fee which the collection agent earns is entirely dependent upon their ability to actually collect the money which is owed to you. This is known as a contingent fee arrangement. The collection agent may act on your behalf in attempting to collect the account, but does not have actual ownership of the account. (continued ...)
