“We had a customer purchase a large amount of equipment, then disappear. Other agencies tried to find it; all of them failed. Then we called ACS. They were able to track all of our equipment from Maryland to North Africa and locate every piece. Almost overnight, we finalized a deal to give ACS 150–200 more accounts and they went to work on them immediately. We count on ACS to be responsive and efficient, and, from a collections standpoint, they deliver more than any other agency we have ever worked with. They’re also a professional and respectful group of people that we love working with.” Supervisor, Asset and Loss Mitigation Tractor and Heavy Equipment A TESTIMONIAL

“In the 15 years that we have been working with ACS, we have never considered moving to another recovery partner. They are the most flexible, agile and, more importantly, ethical company I have ever worked with. I, personally, prefer dealing with people at the top to get things done. If I have an emergency in the middle of the day, I know that their COO will jump on it immediately. I once had a situation involving 45 trucks that needed to be handled in a two-hour window. ACS was the only company I thought of, and they got it done. They’re a true professional partner.” AVP Asset Management—Equipment Leasing and Finance A TESTIMONIAL
