Frequently Asked Questions


  • Why would a debtor pay their bill when Diversified Services contacts them if they have refused to pay after receiving several statements?

  • Most debtors perceive the assignment of a debt to an agency as a major step in an effort to "take serious" action, which encourages a favorable response to avoid damage to their credit history.

  • How recent must my receivables be for Diversified Services to seek recovery of them?

  • We accept delinquencies up to five years old.

  • When should accounts be placed with Diversified Services Group?

  • The sooner an account is placed for collection (i.e. 90 days) the greater the chance for full recovery.
