Letter Service

Letter Service bureaus can print letters for you to save time and mailing costs. In Collect!, the Letter Service feature lets you automate the processing of large batches of Debtor notices and simple Debtor letters. For instance, you may have 10,000 First Notices to print. Letter Service can handle this easily! Letter Service can also process lists, such as transactions for a particular Debtor.

When you print your daily batch letters, you can choose to send your letters to a service bureau. Instead of printing batch letters to your printer, Collect! will send the letter data to a file that you can then send to the service bureau of your choice using a method agreed upon with them. For example, email attachment or internet file upload.

Of course, the service bureau needs to know what each of your letters look like. Before a letter service bureau can print your letters, you must send the actual text of each of your letters to them.

The service bureaus then have a data entry person enter the text of your letters into their computer system.

Typically, you may use your existing letters without changes. Collect! analyzes each letter as it is printed, and produces an output file in the 'Ontario' format.
