As a collection agency, TFC provides timely services with frequent updates on progress during the Maine collection process. Our agency uses COLA which is a web based program giving our collection agency clients online access to their files. Many of the more experienced and successful Maine collection agencies have realized that web based, online status reporting for their clients is a must for future business development and to view a demonstration of our system, please use the following link: www.tfc-associates.com. Technology has changed the face of the Maine collection industry dramatically and the Maine collection agencies that invest in and utilize the latest technology will emerge as frontrunners to capture a larger piece of the accounts receivable pie. 

The ability of a Maine collection agency to receive collection claims, post collection activity, forward litigation claims and provide remittance accounting numbers to the client all online will greatly benefit that collection agency, not only now but for many years to come in the Maine marketplace. TFC has the technology now and can strongly compete with any Maine collection agency. Our collection agency is very interested in applying a mix of technology and common sense business process re-engineering to streamline the interface with its clients. Though our collection agency currently provides a Windows-based interface to our systems, TFC intends to port this ability to a browser interface in the near future. This will make it even easier for clients to watch us process their Maine collection agency placements.

We believe the secret to our collection agency success comes from a few simple principles. Our team approach to the process of Maine debt collection ensures your placements get a lot of attention. We accomplish this by tying the team's commissions (even counsel) to actual dollar payments to the client versus debtor promises or legal judgments. This way we keep the team interested until the final goal is accomplished - placing money back in the client's pocket. Coupled with a lean management structure, this means our collection agency provides faster file turnaround with greater success and at lower cost for your Maine collection agency claims.
