Question Which collection agency have you used or considered using to pursue an unpaid account?

Just out of curiosity - I'm wondering if you've had to pursue an invoice payment via collections and if so, which company you used and what your experience was like.

This other thread got me thinking about this and I thought it might be a useful topic for some.

As I've mentioned before, we've only had one instance where we considered taking a client to collections - at that time I looked into using the services of Dunn and Bradstreet. They have a few options but one, which appealed to me at the time, is a letter drafted on your behalf and sent to the client, requesting payment. I think the cost was about $25. They did have other, more expensive (and forceful) methods of dealing with a non-pay but in the end I decided to let the invoice (and the client) go.

Please take a moment to share your own collections experiences and research here.
