Explosion 2: 15%
Sizzling End of Summer Claim Placement Special!

It’s time to turn up the heat on accounts that have cooled on their payments. Studies show that debtors are more likely to pay once a third party (the heat) gets involved. Turn up the heat, and let BCI collect those cold accounts at a special 15% collection rate (a 3% to 35% savings on our regular rates).

In order to receive this low rate you must follow these simple guidelines:

  • Claims placement must be over $200.00.
  • Membership at BCI/NACMNE must be current.

If the accounts need to be sent to an attorney for legal action, all accounts are subject to the regular BCI / NACMNE Recovery Services fee charge. Terms and Conditions can be found on our website.
