- First late notice is sent out after the first past due date on the 30th (i.e. payment due on January 1st, first late notice is sent out after January 30th.)
- Two late notices are sent to owner, by the third month past due, a demand letter is sent to owner giving them 15 days to pay in full or to contact our office to set up a pay plan.
- If there is not a payment or arrangement made, after the 15 days, the file is turned over to the attorney for collection.
