In order to initiate a lawsuit, the local attorney may require court costs and a "nominal" non-contingent suit fee. This fee will usually not be more than 5% of the claim. MCC will always negotiate with the attorney to obtain the best and least costly arrangement for the client.
MCC will work with the attorney to determine if any fees, court costs and interest can be recovered. No legal action will be taken without the client's authorization.
Rates On Return Of Merchandise
If an account is settled through the return of merchandise or a credit, one-half of the normal rates will apply.
