Collection Agency Helps Haiti

By Mallory Megan

Collection company American Profit Recovery recently began a fund raising effort so that they can assist those trying to deliver relief to the Haiti earthquake victims. American Profit Recovery has chosen the Saint Rock Haiti Foundation which is a charity that provides medical care for the people of Haiti.

There are three different ways in which the collection agency will come up with money. One will be the donation of five percent of the proceeds from their biggest trade show. The money will come from all sales at the show in addition to any that come in until the end of February.

Employees are able to contribute by donating money to have the opportunity to dress casually on every Monday in February. Food purchased at their three locations will also go directly to Saint Rock Haiti Foundation.

American Profit Recovery decided to chose Saint Rock Haiti Foundation after one of their employees brought the organization to its attention. And by picking this charity, it will have the chance to apply to the Grand Lodge of Masons over in Massachusetts that will match their donation, doubling fund raising efforts.

American Profit Recovery is a debt collection company with offices in North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Michigan. Founded in 2004, APR deals mostly with the collection of third party debt in professional industries such as banking, trades, medical and dental, and lawn care.

APR has a striking focus on good business practices and diplomacy with consumers. They try to keep the relationship between client and debtor intact; their aim is to keep the business relationship going.

Recent studies suggest that collection companies that train their collectors in empathy are the latest trend and the most successful. If someone is being contacted by numerous collection agencies, they are more likely to work with the collector that has shown compassion. More debt collection agencies could take a lesson from APR and start giving back to the community.
