We value FCO as a professional company who are the experts in our Residential Apartment Industry. We trust FCO.

Senior Training Director
Berkshire Property Advisors, LLC
I am beyond impressed with the quality of service that FCO provides us. They are extremely professional, and they integrate with Yardi, our property management software. All we do is mark which residents we want to send to collections and they get all of the data and attachments they need electronically in a nightly run. FCO’s website is amazing too. We can log in and see the status of any of our accounts and run various detailed reports. Our collections efforts were a mess before we used FCO, and now we are so organized! I would highly recommend FCO to anyone.

In this challenging environment it is reassuring to know that our collection partner is actively working our past due accounts. FCO brings to the table a professional collection team focused on improving our collections through innovative strategies and top of the line reporting tools.

Not only are the results achieved by FCO outstanding, but so is the level of service provided to their clients. Carol and her group are always there when we need them!

If it has not been for FCO, the properties I have worked with would not have had the success they did. It is always a challenge to collect on old accounts! FCO provides a high level service and allows you to account for each former resident, while they do all the work. You always know where an account stands and can expect a follow up call each month from FCO to just see how things are going. They have proven that communication is the key in any quality relationship.

The Applied Companies have had great success in the difficult process of collections ever since we moved our accounts to FCO. The collection rate is three times better than the previous vendor. The process is easy, effective and the staff has been nothing but professional in all aspects of the collection process. With previous collection agencies, I would get calls from our former residents telling me how unprofessional the collection agency was and that they used scare tactics. Not the case with FCO. I would highly recommend them to any other management company.

Liss Property Group, LLC continues to have success with FCO. The process of submitting new accounts is made very simple, and the online account access keeps our company up to date on our collections in Real Time, not to mention the reporting is terrific. In the demanding multi family business, we do not take for granted the fact we have a company like FCO we can rely on, so that we can concentrate on managing and growing the other areas of our company and our bottom line.

FCO collects many accounts we thought were uncollectible. Their return rate is constantly better than anticipated. I know there are lots of companies that say they can collect, but we don't even consider changing when solicited by their competitors.
Steve Coy
Controller, Vice President
Malkin Properties
There are three things that set FCO apart from other collection agencies:
- Service: The FCO representatives that are assigned to us are friendly, responsive and professional. On many occasions I have needed numbers mid-month and they responded immediately
- Reports: They have an extensive menu of reports that answer any question one might have. I also appreciate that we can select what we want to see on a monthly basis.
- Results:We are pleased with the posted results within our portfolio. I do not believe this would be possible without having partnered with FCO.

Fair Collections and Outsourcing is by far the top residential collections partner. Combined with better than expected returns it is one of the easiest systems for our team members to submit accounts through. I highly recommend FCO to any multi-family professional who is seeking bottom line results.

Dominion Group has used FCO to collect bad debt for many years. We are very pleased with their results. They are always looking at better ways to collect more money for us. Their people are great to work with. They are very professional and very efficient. FCO's online services of reports and account status are excellent. We have tried other collection companies in the past, but none as good as FCO.

I really love working with FCO. I have very limited time in which to send somebody over for collections and it is extremely easy to do with FCO. There are no hassles when I have to make a change in a filing. Neel Gupta and the various Client Service Reps that I deal with are always outgoing and friendly. You can tell that Customer Service is first on their list.
Cathy Avants

I have found Neel Gupta and Fair Collections & Outsourcing to be great to work with. Neel responds quickly to any question asked and since moving to FCO, our collection percentage has tripled.

I couldn't be more pleased with the service and results from FCO. Many organizations view their bad debt as a write off never to be collected. With FCO, bad debt is viable revenue and money in the bank.

FCO reports are very clean, easy to read, and self explanatory. In addition, FCO always adds personal comments as an overall recap which I really enjoy reading prior to opening the report itself; it gives me a description of my portfolio performance. With being a new Regional Manager this year, you have greatly assisted me with any questions I had and in a prompt manner. All your assistance has been greatly appreciated and I look forward to working with FCO in 2008.
Sharon Tenaro
Regional Manager
Tristar Management
To say FCO is a great collections agency is an understatement! It is, in fact, the best collections agency I have ever worked with. In addition to FCO's well-designed web site that gives up-to-date information on each case filed, the company's customer service representatives are the best to work with in the industry. From phone calls to e-mail requests, I am always assured of a quick, accurate and pleasant response to all of my questions. I will recommend FCO to any organization looking for a collections agency that espouses excellence.

As always, I appreciate all the efforts of you and all your data entry persons. I always feel awful when I send over a big "chunk" of work for your ladies, but the few times I have interacted with your client services department, they have always been sweet and didn't seem to mind that I was probably overwhelming them with work!
You guys are the best.

Fair Collections & Outsourcing does a super job and it shows! Because of FCO's efforts in coordinating our additional collection efforts, our overall collection dollars are up. Their efforts have been noticed and the time they spend on all of our accounts is greatly appreciated. FCO not only gives us great results, but excellent client service. Thanks to them for a job well done.

On behalf of the Office of the Bursar at Penn State, I am pleased to recommend Fair Collections & Outsourcing (FCO). FCO has provided excellent service to our office. Our relationship with FCO began in 1992 when their company name was Pierce Hamilton and Stern. Throughout these years, FCO has maintained a highly successful collection rate on our delinquent accounts.
In addition to their excellent collection efforts, FCO has a wonderful staff dedicated to providing superior customer service to our office. The FCO staff is responsive to special requests and provides prompt answers. FCO also has an outstanding Web site that provides numerous reports and detailed up to date account information.
Based on FCO's performance on our delinquent accounts and commitment to quality service, I would highly recommend them to any organization in need of a collection agency.
