In this section we have listed a number of answers to questions concerning How We Work, at Cedar Financial.
Cedar Financial is a licensed third-party collection agency; a legal-assignee of debts. This means a client will contact us to move forward with collection services and we do not own the debt outright.
This relationship with our clients is successful because we leave any decision to take action with the client. We will request all necessary documentation (Invoices, Contracts, Legal Documents, etc.) available to validate the claim for collection efforts. Any disputes or refusals to pay will result in the file being noted as such and sent back to the client for them to decide on further action.

At Cedar Financial, there is no general cost for collection services. The costs are determined through the circumstances of the claim, whether or not we’ll be managing multiple accounts, and the amount due, amongst several other factors.
Our expert Credit-Risk Consultants are happy to discuss the costs with you in detail as this may vary depending on the specific particulars of the new placement. Several fees may also apply if extended services, such as seeking a legal judgement, are required.
Specializing in both domestic and international collections, we provide our services to a number of different industries in over 150 countries globally.
Our history of successful agreements includes collections with the medical, educational, property management, utilities, and governmental industries.
Our primary services are comprised of Commercial B2B (business to business) accounts and Consumer B2C (business to consumer) or C2B (consumer to business) accounts.
Before collection efforts can begin, our offices must be in receipt of the proper documents to validate the new claim. Once this validation process is completed and an agreement is in place, our representatives will begin their efforts immediately.
Just as every claim is different, the circumstances for each consumer varies as well, resulting in an unidentifiable certain set of time. Extenuating factors such as the age of the account and the type of debt being collected upon also weigh into how much time it will take to close our agreement
There are several federal and state agencies that govern the debt collection industry. The most prominent of which is compliance with the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practice Act).
This federal law provides consumer protection from harassing/abusive collection efforts, as well as, provides certain limitations on what types of debts can be collected on. Additionally, the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act regulates how default accounts are reported in credit reports.
Amongst other regulations, these laws govern how and when we can contact consumers while providing documentation and other legal guidelines.
The types of collection activities permitted by law vary widely across the globe. In the U.S. we contact the consumer by telephone and mail in an effort to resolve the debt.
In some cases, we are able to contact consumers via email. Regarding any extended arrangements outside of our collection efforts, we will provide our clients with recommendations for further action, however, it is at their discretion whether they agree to proceed.
Depending on the age of the debt, we may be able to seek legal action.
Cedar Financial specializes in both domestic and international collection services.
We currently have offices in over 150 countries worldwide working with Cedar Financial which provides access to a global network of nationally licensed debt collection firms.
This global network allows us to establish universal relationships for providing excellent services in a varying degree of time zones across the world.
Federal and state laws limit how long we can engage in certain collection efforts. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) sets a Statute of Limitations on creditors and debt collectors regulating the period of time it is legal to pursue an old debt.
This Statute of Limitations can vary according to state and federal legislatures. Our Cedar representatives are well versed in these SOL variations and would be happy to discuss the specific details regarding your outstanding accounts.
Yes, we must be able to validate the debt before we can begin the collection process. This process of validation is in place to guarantee the protection of both the client and the consumer when working with Cedar Financial.
Validation documents include, but are not limited to, contractual agreements between you and the consumer, a bill or invoices for exchanged goods or services, as well as, legal court judgement documents.
