Payment Recovery

Payment recovery firms specialize in getting vendors to return money inadvertently paid to them. In corporate America, this frequently occurs when accounts payable staff accidentally pay a duplicate invoice. Another situation in which this might occur is when, for instance, a company places a deposit on a corporate cell phone account in order to prevent service interruption in the event of a late payment. If the company then switches cell phone providers, it may have difficulty collecting its deposit from the original provider. Accounts receivable staff who handle incoming payments seldom have authority to cut checks themselves, and in any case tend to place a lower priority on returning overpayments than in collecting back payments. Rather than spend time on hold working with vendors, many companies decide to turn the matter over to the experts.

Famous quotes containing the words payment and/or recovery:

    Latin America is very fond of the word “hope.” We like to be called the “continent of hope.” Candidates for deputy, senator, president, call themselves “candidates of hope.” This hope is really something like a promise of heaven, an IOU whose payment is always being put off. It is put off until the next legislative campaign, until next year, until the next century.
    Pablo Neruda (1904–1973)

    It’s even pleasant to be sick when you know that there are people who await your recovery as they might await a holiday.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
