On the website you mention that you "reach out" in order to collect. That doesn't sound very convincing to be honest. What are other means of collection that you actually do in order for your clients to get paid?

Wow!! #4 product Of the Day! Amazing... I knew was wort to share :)
My question is more about your mission to reach 1M in dept collection. It will be nice to see numbers and what’s the current stage?!
@kotluv I believe that if you share this info and make it public, you will build trust with future cliente straight away, and most important it will validate your methodology on collection
Seems a good deal to me and worth a punt if clients are not paying (which all freelancers have had at some point in their career).
Good to see you sticking up for them 👍
I’m totally going to give you guys a try but I’m going to send someone I don’t want to retain any type of relationship with. I’m not saying change the methodology but there’s a reason we gave up on that bill. I’m not sure what your escalation procedure is but she will attempt to escalate because she is not... ethically fit to be in the position she’s in. But that rate is very low so you guys are awesome for just that and why not try it. If it doesn’t work, your website says it all what’s there to lose. It’ll look great in court that a vendor tried to settle out of small claims before having to take it there.
@coconidodev I'm fairly certain that this is actually pretty cheap for a debt collection service. Many are between 20% and 50% of the collected funds! :)
@coconidodev @armsteadj1 @kotluv From the little I know about typical collection agencies here in Singapore is that they actually do physical visits (within the means of the law) and that's the "scariest" part. Assuming the person objective is to play "punk" (i.e. have no intention to pay), wouldn't he just ignore all these "letters" (definitely emails) and phone calls?
I think that's why local agencies charge a much higher price because they do face-to-face kind of meetings rather than just send a letter or make a phone call.
@coconidodev @armsteadj1 @kotluv Those points that you mentioned are people that will eventually pay (which should be the majority). I suppose it's easier to do in-person here in Singapore due to the geographical size of the country (it's a tiny red dot).
I'm not entirely sure what they do during these visits but no, they do not get physical or do anything violent. Probably the same as your phone calls and emails but just that someone is there to say "hi" I suppose.
So what happens if the person still refuses to pay? Does Unpayd handle the legal processes or this is handed back over to the client to take it from there?
collections has a very negative connotation. Getting paid for the hard work you do shouldn't. Unpayd offers a whole new approach that doesn't burn any bridges.
Pros:creates a new, positive option in a very negative space
Cons:the idea of collections has a negative perspective
Not sure why is operating only on English speaking countries
Pros:Quick, painless and effective
Cons:English speaking countries only
