CLOSED
ACCOUNT SUMMARY
Our Closed Account Summary represents a
comprehensive report that we can provide every six months, once a year or for
any other designated period of time. This summary must be requested. When our handling
of a placement is complete, collection data is entered into our computer. The
column headings include the WWI file number, debtor name, your account number,
the placement date, closed date, $Placed, $Collected and Fees Paid.
The summary printout enables our clients to track
the Recovery Ratio, which is a comparison of Total Dollars Placed and Total
Dollars Collected; the itemized fees paid and dollars collected on each account
and the overall agency fee rate %, which are Total Fees/Total Dollars Collected.
We include a bankruptcy query listing of those placements where the debtor has
filed for relief either in Bankruptcy or an “Assignment for the Benefit of
Creditors.”
The Recovery Ratio has the most significant impact
upon a company’s Bottom Line Net Profit.
For a more detailed explanation how net profit can be affected, please
refer to the “Bottom Line Net Performance Chart,” which exemplifies and
compares agency performances. THE GREATEST IMPACT TO NET PROFIT IS THE RECOVERY
RATIO.
In a comparison amongst agencies, if the Recovery
Ratio is 2% higher, then there is a significantly larger contribution to “net
profit,” which, at this point, renders a Fee Rate comparison as
insignificant. In other words, the fee
that an agency charges only becomes important in a comparison when the Recovery
Ratio by both agencies are identical, which is, of course, impossible.
A GREAT FEE RATE IS
MEANINGLESS IF AN AGENCY CANNOT PRODUCE!!!
SIX-MONTH

statistics are as follows:
·
$104,017.92

·
$91,257.03

This Closed Account Summary reveals some of the best
statistics that we have ever been able to compile on your behalf. The 87.8% Recovery Ratio, together with the
13% Average Fee Rate is nothing short of exceptional. I would certainly hope that the potential is there where these
types of results warrant an opportunity for Williams & Williams, Inc. to be
of additional service.
Always remember that the Closed Account Summary
reflects every account that is closed whether in full, partial, by a settlement
or without recovering one cent. We are working hard to try to resolve all of
the other accounts that you have with us.
Yours truly,
