"Our company has been through a few collection agencies over the years with my business and we are overjoyed with this agency. They collect so much more than any other collection agency I have worked with. But on top of them recovering a good chunk of past revenue, many of our patients who First Credit Services has contacted have continued to stay loyal and come back to our office in the future with positive experiences. We are glad that they are respecting our patients when trying to collect money from them. "

- Manager of Billing, Healthcare Provider

"First Credit Services has been providing us with collection services for about 5 years now as we own several health club franchise locations. I primarily work with their sales and marketing team, and they are always professional and super helpful, excellent customer service! Also, as importantly, they are excellent at collecting otherwise "lost revenue" for our businesses. GREAT SERVICE, MUCH APPRECIATED, THANKS FIRST CREDIT!"

-Health Club Owner

"First Credit Services’ failed payment recovery service is a no brainer for our business. They’ve helped us recover over 70% of our failed payments each month. "
