We’ll be referring you to many others
We just received your remittance via wire transfer. We are so impressed with your service and your results. We were referred to you and now we’ll be referring you to many others. We hope this will show our appreciation and satisfaction!
You deserve more than a 5-star rating
We found you online and quickly felt comfortable with you and your service. I was surprised by your responsiveness and even more by the fact that you collected our $59,000.00 claim. The debtor disputed the balance, but you found a way to persuade them to pay in full. You deserve more than a 5-star rating!
Quick turnaround
Thank you for your help! You were able to do in a matter of weeks, what I was not able to do in several months!!
Recommend your services
Many thanks for an exceptionally smooth engagement. I will always recommend your services should I find anybody who could benefit.
Outstanding job
Thank you for your reply. We look forward to receiving C__ final payment. ($87,249.84) You and your firm have done an outstanding job in bringing this difficult matter to a successful close.
Highly recommend their services
We gave Direct Recovery an aged debt owed to our business from an individual that had not signed a contract. I really thought it was not recoverable – but WOW – after supplying an email trail as proof, we had a check in our hands for the full amount, less fees, within a month. I have no hesitation using Richard and his business in the future and highly recommend their services. Thank you for a great job.
Impressed with you guys
Richard:
Your check will go out today. And I must say I am pretty impressed with you guys. You got this customer, who was totally non-responsive, to pay in a short amount of time. Great work, I look forward to using you again when the need arises.
I am very pleased
Hi Richard!!
Yesterday I received divorce papers in the mail from California!!! It’s like Christmas here!!! Money and Divorce – what more could a girl want?
Perhaps he has found another woman with money? I am very pleased that all of it has now been paid and that part of my life can really be relegated to the past.
Good work!
I Just received the check from DRA for partial payment on one of our accounts (C_ T_). What a nice surprise! We had all but written this one off…Good work!
Also, we will be sending a couple new ones to you in the next week or so…. Once again, thank you for your help,
Excellent work
We received your check for the collection case we sent you. We were surprised and amazed you were able to collect this one for us! We appreciate your excellent work and thank you very much for your assistance.
Diligent team
Hi Richard,
I received the check with thanks! We would like to thank you and your team for your diligence in helping us recover the funds owed!
High rate collection
We just reviewed our account summary and you collected over 90% of our claims. We’re delighted, especially considering our law firm’s E&O insurance precludes us from taking legal action to collect our receivables. We wouldn’t have thought we could collect at such a high rate without the ability to file suit. Your collectors are amazing!
Full Amount
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!!
We can’t believe you levied our debtor’s bank account and scored a direct hit, for the full amount!
We owe you Starbucks! Thank you for the great work!
Approachable and motivated
It’s hard to find a genuine and effective debt collection agency that will go above and beyond for your case. The staff at Direct Recovery Associates are approachable, motivated and devoted to the best possible outcome for their clients and I’m very happy to recommend their debt collection services to anyone!
Represented me successfully
I have known Richard personally and professionally for over 30 years. He has represented me successfully in three separate matters that posed unique and challenging circumstances that he was somehow able to navigate with apparent ease. One involved a debtor that owed us over $125,000.00 that they were somehow able to convince the new corporate entity to assume responsibility for the insolvent old corporate entity to pay in full. In a way, they collected our money out of thin air on this one and the other two as well!
Represented our law firm for 25 years
Direct Recovery Associates, Inc. has represented our law firm for 25 years. We have sent them several dozen accounts over the years. While we don’t allow them to sue our clients because of our E&O insurance restrictions, they are still able to collect over 75% of the accounts we send them. Their ability to persuade debtors to pay amicably is remarkable!
Exceptional team
Going through the litigation process can be overwhelming, but having Direct Recovery by my side made all the difference. IMHO, our courts move too slowly, but Richard kept me informed on my case and pushed everything through to a successful conclusion. His team are exceptional and I’m really happy with their results!
Grateful for their help
Direct Recovery Associates guided me to a successful conclusion with my claim, which seemed hopeless! I’m grateful for their help and I recommend them highly!
Equal effort to all our accounts
We have worked with Direct Recovery Associates for several years. We have sent them many small and some large balances to collect. Throughout this time, we have been able to see how they devote equal effort to all our accounts and the results have been phenomenal! Thank you, DRA!
Incredible experience
I had an incredible experience working with the Direct Recovery and their attorneys. They crushed my case and turned my discouragement into cold hard cash!
You’re a joy to work with
We’re so happy with your team that I wanted to take the time to express our gratitude for your excellent collection services. You not only collected our money in a quick and efficient manner, but you were a joy to work with during the process. You are very impressive.
Prompt, efficient, honest and direct
Mr. Hart, thank you so much! If ever there were a time that I’d want to have a collections company to work with for past due debts, it would definitely be yours. You were so prompt, efficient, honest and direct.
Thank you again,
Made life-long clients out of us
Richard,
I just got your check in the mail. I seriously can’t believe the client is ACTUALLY paying towards this balance! We had pretty much given up on this account, so you have definitely made life-long clients out of us! Thanks and have a great weekend!
Very Sincerely,
Constant effort to get the job done
Dear Richard,
This is called great news… Thank you very much for your information. We have already informed our Bank to inform us as soon as they receive the payment from Chr_. We are very much impressed on your constant effort to get the job done. Well done! Keep it up… We are recommending your name to all my export community so that if they have any cases like this they can utilize your excellent service to save them from the debt. Thank you, once again. ($11,400.00)
Great work ethic
Hi Richard,
I wasn’t expecting such a positive response with hard work behind it. You have got a great work ethic! Thanks so much—we truly appreciate it.
We are grateful of your professionalism
Hello Richard,
Next time we’re in California, we owe you lunch! We are grateful of your professionalism. We got the check today. Thanks to you, we will have an extra merry Christmas! Thanks again! You now have a long-term customer! ($11,462.94)
Best wishes,
Appreciated your prompt, professional service
This is to inform you that I have received the wire transfer. Thank you for the same. I have taken the liberty to circulate your name to my associates in India and in the US as a firm that gives thorough and professional service at a reasonable rate. Anyone who has collection problems in both the countries known to me have been advised to be in touch with you. I have always appreciated your prompt, professional service.
We appreciate all the efforts
This all wouldn’t have happened without your commitment to our collection, thank you and be sure that we appreciate all the efforts have been invested in our case. Blessings. ($67,179.13)
We love working with you!
Check received, thank you! Please find two more accounts attached.
Appreciate the efforts
You have earned my business going forward, Richard. We don’t have many of these, but when we do get them, they will be sent your direction. I do appreciate the efforts.
Great news
Richard, thank you for the great news! I do appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue with C… We now know who to go to in the future if this happens again!
Great team
Your team is great! How do you collect so many of our accounts? Well done.
Be in Touch
Thank you! I appreciate your help in getting this case closed. I will definitely be in touch should we have another account to send to collections. Have a great day!
We didn’t think it would be possible
If you are in need of a debt collection agency, you can’t go wrong with choosing Direct Recovery Associates! They were transparent, responsive and they collected our money when we didn’t think it would be possible.
Quick collection
I couldn’t get my debtor to pay voluntarily, despite my best efforts over a couple years. Direct Recovery got involved and they were able to collect my $90k promissory note rather quickly. I hope to not need their services ever again, but I know who to recommend!
Nothing but good things
Nothing but good things to say about Direct Recovery! They are easy to work with and I’m always amazed when I receive their remittance checks!
Thought there was no hope
My father was owed money from a man who cheated him out of $75,000.00. Direct Recovery sued this awful person, but they couldn’t seem to find assets to attached. Sadly, both my father and mother subsequently passed away without seeing any success. My father even mentioned this regret to me in his final days. I’m writing this recommendation because a few years later, I was contacted by Richard Hart at Direct Recovery asking me if I was related to his client, my father. I confirmed some details to verify my relationship and Richard then told me how he secured full payment from the debtor via an abstract of judgment that they filed against the debtor’s property. I couldn’t believe how Richard found me and gave me and my family this amazing gift. A cried on the phone and he quickly remitted my father’s money to me. What a beautiful moment for all of us!
We appreciate his work
Richard‘s dedication and clear communication over the years have helped secure many favorable outcomes. We appreciate his work and are honored to have him help with our collections!
Astonishing high rate of success
I’ve worked with Direct Recovery for many years, and they are truly some of the best people I know. It’s not just about their technical and legal expertise – it’s about their honesty, integrity, and the way they care for their clients. They routinely smooth out complicated disputes related to our claims and they help us avoid creating any potential issues while collecting our money at an astonishing high rate of success.
Successfully collect my money
I’m an attorney and it’s interesting to me how Direct Recovery is able to successfully collect my money after I’ve given a strong effort to collect it myself. I’m a believer in specialization, as demonstrated by their expertise and results!
We’ll send to you all of our accounts
We sent you two test accounts that were admittedly long-shots and you collected both. We’re done testing you and now you’ll get all our accounts. Thank you.
Very impressed
Hey Richard:
Just received a check from you for the ‘The O’ account. I have to say that I am very impressed you managed to get any money out of them. Don’t know how you did it and maybe I don’t want to know, but I’ll certainly keep you in mind if this ever happens again.
Thanks again Richard, much appreciated.
You guys ROCK
Signed, faxed, and settled. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
You guys ROCK!!!
You are a miracle worker
I got the check today! Thank you so much! I didn’t expect anything out of it honestly! You are a miracle worker and really made my week! Thank you so much, and I’ll definitely refer you and use you in the future!!!! THANKS!!!
Thanks for all your help Richard
Money ($45,000.00) rec’d – thanks for all your help Richard. I honestly thought i wouldn’t see a cent. Great result.
Kind regards
Professional expertise
Dear Mr. Hart,
Thank you and your team for your professional expertise in handling this complicated matter to a successful conclusion. ($17,665.50)
Regards,
Thank you again for all your help
Awesome. Yes, it was super-fast. Thank you again for all your help on this file!!! I hope we don’t get anymore – however I will be back to you if we do. Look forward to working with you if we need to.
Thanks heaps
Thanks for help collecting final payment
I received the final payment from Spi_ today ($138,450.00). It was a pleasure working with you and we will keep in touch!! Thank you for all you have done!!
Best Regards,
I would highly recommend your services
Just wanted to thank you for the cheque I received today. Once again, you came through for me; that’s two for two! You and your team were able to recover my funds both times in a timely manner without incident.
Moral victory
Got the check today! Thanks so much for your hard work on this. You always kept me in the loop and were super thorough. It’s more of a moral than monetary victory. Hopefully I won’t need to reach out again, but if someone tries to stiff us we will be in touch!
Best,
They will eventually pay
Thank you for collecting our accounts. The credit reporting you do is very effective! In working with you, we’ve learned that, eventually, our debtors will pay.
Persuaded our debtor to pay
Thank you for your excellent work! We appreciate how you somehow persuaded our debtor to pay, after stalling for so many months. You are so easy to work with and thank you once again for all your help.
Every experience has been exceptional
We have had the privilege of working with Direct Recovery on multiple occasions, and every experience has been exceptional. From the very beginning, we were treated with excellent service, results, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment.
Collecting on our behalf for more than a decade
Richard at Direct Recovery and his team are highly motivated and it has resulted in many successful collections on our behalf for more than a decade. Some of their success stories with our accounts seem somewhat miraculous.
Collected from France
We place a large account for $400,000.00 with Direct Recovery against a debtor in France. No matter what we tried, this wine manufacturer kept breaking promises and would not pay voluntarily. Somehow, Richard Hart was able to collect our money in less than a month!
They do exactly what they promise
Direct Recovery and their exceptional attorneys go above and beyond to help us secure the maximum amounts owed to us. Some of our debtors are insolvent, but whenever there’s still a pulse, Direct Recovery squeezes our debtors and gets our money back in a timely manner! They do exactly what they promise!
Great service
Great lawyers and great service! Direct Recovery is an excellent collection agency! Don’t hesitate to reach out them.
Enjoyed working with them
If you’re unsure about how to collect your debts, it’s definitely worth giving Direct Recovery a call. I wasn’t sure if I even had a case, but they spoke with me and quickly helped me understand my options. They were upfront and I enjoyed working with them. In the end, I was shocked when they informed me that they had actually collected my money. My decision to work with Direct Recovery resulted in me collecting $22,000.00 that I couldn’t collect on my own!
Honest, reliable, and truly care about their clients
I’ve worked with Direct Recovery in the past and can confidently say they are honest, reliable, and truly care about their clients. Their team and their attorneys are professional, responsive, and dedicated to doing good work. If you’re looking for a team that puts people first and fights for what’s right, this is the place to go.
