Processing over $30 million in placements annually, Alacrity offers an experienced team, tested and proven debt collection systems, and a commitment to going above and beyond to achieve significantly higher rates of return than smaller or larger collection agencies typically deliver.

Does your collections agency receive testimonials like this?

“…I also want to say thank you to the Alacrity team for being patient with me in handling this account and letting me pay it off with monthly payments. I greatly appreciate that and the professionalism of the staff. Most of the time collection specialists are rude and judgmental. They see that a person has been sent to collections and automatically think they are deadbeats or people who do not want to pay their bills. It won’t be long before my debt is paid off and I will be out of your system! Yaaaayyyy!!! Thanks again!”
