Collection Agency Helps Haiti


By Mallory Megan

Debt collection agency American Profit Recovery began a fund raising attempt in order to assist people trying to bring 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 debt collection agency will raise money. One will be the dedication of five percent of the proceeds from their largest 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 given the option to contribute by paying to have the chance to dress casually each Monday in February. Food that is bought at their three locations will also go directly to Saint Rock Haiti Foundation.

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

American Profit Recovery is a collection company with offices in North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Michigan. It was founded in 2004. APR concentrates on 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 have suggested that debt collection agencies that train their workers to show 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 collection companies could take a lesson from APR and begin giving back to the community.
