[QUOTE="TallJoe, post: 5690334, member: 180515"]The title of this thread is sufficient enough not create any more on this subject, so I took liberty to revive it with my little questions. I hate to think of how much hard earned money is so easily forgone on the interests paid to factoring, and quick pays. Yes, it is necessary/useful to use them when low on cash and payments are waiting, but on the permanent basis it is a bad practice, if you ask me. I'll try to switch to invoicing gradually but eventually completely. 1. When you send BOL along with Invoice and Rate conformation. do you always include the original (even if not specified in brokers agreement) -of course you have to keep a copy for yourself then. 2. Do you include a return envelope with you address? 3. The loadboards have the brokers rating listed, and I pay attention to it and i does influence who I call. For instance anybody below 95 on DAT loadboard I'd rather not call, if I do I factor them. Do you think they are accurate, these ratings? 4. How long do you wait before you make your first collection call? 5. How long do you wait before you send Tony Soprano their way? 6. How often you simply could not collect and filed a claim against their bond, and if so, what were you able to recover? I guess, I am trying to ask if there is a lot of risk and inconveniences involved in practice with invoicing as a general Accounts Receivable method?[/QUOTE]
