About Millenium Collections
Millennium Collections Corporation, one of few agencies in the country certified and audited regularly by the Commercial Law League of America and the International Association of Commercial Collectors, is dedicated to providing our clients with superior performance for all of your commercial collection needs. At Millennium, we treat each client as if they our only client, and each collection account as if it were our own. We know that we are measured every day by the results and the service that we provide. See the difference for yourself.
Why Millennium Collections?
We provide an option to the “typical” collection agency. Our founder and President, Jonathan Rose, is a commercial trial lawyer with over forty-five years of general counsel, law firm, and collection agency experience. Mr. Rose created Millennium to provide clients with high grade, realistically priced collection services with highly trained collection agents and a staff providing immediate responsive service, all overseen by legal counsel available to successfully negotiate high-balance accounts. Where the typical agency collector is impeded by a debtor’s excuses, such as late delivery or defects in unreturned product, our collectors are trained in the law to deal with these delay tactics through the study of actual case files. They are taught to deal with disputes by the application of commercial law, provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, secured transactions, and the bankruptcy code. While most collection agencies close accounts soon after a debtor disputes a collection, our collectors will go past the invoice into the facts of the purchase to defeat a debtor’s objection to payment, allowing us to collect a greater percentage of our client’s accounts. And Millennium’s remittance schedule issues payments to our clients every fifteen days, faster than other agencies. Why accept anything less than the most qualified collection agency? You can benefit from our experience and recognition in this field.

Fee Structure
Our fee structure is wholly contingent upon successful collection of our client’s account. The contingency fee rates are offered based upon the age of the delinquent account(s), the size of the accounts and the frequency of placements. Generally, these rates can vary from fifteen percent to thirty-five percent. The rate for accounts forwarded to an outside attorney for collections is 35% for domestic accounts and forty-five percent for international accounts, or amounts based upon fee structures required by international counsel.
