  • collections testimonial graphic
    Dennis LeRosa, Corporate Credit Manager
    Cleaver-Brooks Inc.

    I have worked with Bernie Cowan and his staff at NCS for twenty years. They have handled claims from a few thousand dollars to over $1 million for my company. Their track record is excellent…Whether it’s a lien to be filed in Nevada, a question on a public job in NYC, or a payment bond I do not understand, all are explained and/or claim in process the day I make the call. The network of attorneys in contract with NCS includes some of the best firms I have ever dealt with in my forty years in the construction industry.

    Michael Wisner, Region Credit Manager
    US Foods

    We were notified that a customer was selling a location which at the time had an AR in the mid-six figures, all of which was past due…The sale took place and our Credit Manager was contacted by the attorney who had the check in hand for the full amount. Had we not had the UCC filing in place we would not have received this payment and very likely, only cents on the dollar.

    This success paid for the cost of filing previous UCC’s and future UCC filings for years to come. This was definitely a win when looking at the cost benefit/ROI for securing our receivables with the UCC process and utilizing the services of NCS.

    After implementing the lien/notice to owner program, we have seen our DSO numbers steadily decline each month, to an average of around 22 days. That is over a 30% improvement in our DSO since we first partnered with NCS.
