FAQ

Questions about 3rd-Party Collections.

Contingency means you pay nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of what we successfully recover. If we don't recover, you don't pay.

Standard placement is 60–120 days of active multi-channel work. Accounts can be extended, closed, or escalated to legal at any point.

Not necessarily. Commercial collection strategies can be tailored to the account, the customer relationship, and your business objectives. Altus uses professional B2B outreach designed to pursue recovery while managing the commercial relationship appropriately.

Recovered funds are remitted promptly, with detailed reporting that provides visibility into payments, fees, and account activity.
