About GRT Collect!

We get it… having to pay someone to collect what you have already earned is upsetting, to say the least. In addition to having to forgo your profit while paying commissions and fees, collecting your money requires time that you could otherwise  invest productively.

Most companies experience delinquent receivables and bad debt over their lifecycle. For many, it’s a cost of doing business as credit is provided to the consumer as a means of affordability and competitive advantage. At best, delinquent accounts impede cash flow and hinder opportunity costs. At worst, aged receivables impact operational commitments like payroll and taxes and can have a real bearing on the survival of the business. 

Green, Richard & Trent (GRT) has partnered with many businesses throughout Northeastern Indiana for over 30 years, helping companies of all different sizes and within many different industries collect aged receivables. Our clients have internal processes in place to manage their aged receivables, but when their processes fail they contact us to produce results.

Collecting aged receivables is more art than science. There are numerous moral and legal/compliance considerations today that require a real understanding in collecting debt. Add to this the social responsibility of good PR and/or managing reviews and it’s not hard to see why many throw up their arms in frustration and write-off the debt altogether or worse, go out of business.    

The Green, Richard & Trent namesake and reputation in Northeastern Indiana precedes tangible results; often the weight of a third-party professional’s involvement is all that’s needed for full cooperation. Our GRTCollect! service is a new tool for creditors to bridge to gap between their own internal collection efforts and third-party engagement, thus preserving profit and social reputation. Creditors simply input the customer and debt detail, choose the firmness of communication via our GRT letterhead and we then mail to your delinquent customer on your behalf. Your customer pays you directly, or you can choose to provide our debit/credit card portal to increase the likelihood of payment.

If your customer pays you directly, we ask for a brief testimonial of your experience with us- and nothing more! If the desired results are not forthcoming, we ask for your consideration in retaining our consignment-fee service to escalate accordingly, but no obligation to do so; continue with your existing service provider or look elsewhere- it’s up to you!
