RevUp Debt Collection

As organizations deal with an increase of delinquent non-tax debt, they are also have limited tools and resources to collect aged receivables. 

The Office of the Comptroller has negotiated a statewide contract to make debt collection easy and cost-effective for Commonwealth of Massachusetts state, quasi-state, and local government organizations. The bottom line: revenue enhancement for your public organization. 

Vendors

Nine vendors are on a statewide contract PRF72: Debt Collection Services. These vendors follow the highest professional industry standards for integrity for collection services. They can navigate the specific complexities of the debt collection industry. 

Their vast experience can ultimately save organizations time and money in the collection of outstanding debt. 

Certain debt collection agencies can work directly with your organization to recommend legal services and/or litigation for types of collections. 

With the statewide contract, there is no need to bid separately for debt collection services. Statewide contracts are an easy way to obtain impactful benefits for your organization by leveraging the buying power, solicitation process, contracting expertise, and vendor management and oversight of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
