What Makes Us So Special

Unlike many debt collection agencies, the primary function of August Investments, Inc. is not the collections of debts. Rather, it is the collection, analysis and distribution of information. Information is, after all, the lifeblood of a modern capitalist economy. Without it, there can be no trust. And without trust, no one can get a loan or buy anything on credit. The catastrophic credit freeze that brought the world economy to the brink of disaster in 2008 and 2009 was an all too painful illustration of just how important information has become to our market economy.

But it isn't just the government and Wall Street that depend on this currency of knowledge. We all do to some point. Information allows us to make smart financial decisions, particularly when we are running a business. Knowing who to do business with and who to avoid can be the difference between financial success and bankruptcy. Unlike big corporations, small and mid-sized businesses can't afford to extend credit to those who won't pay them back. Bad debt isn't just a tax write-off for these hard-working entrepreneurs. They depend on every dollar they earn. Yet, at the same time, they can't afford to waste their time pursuing debtors who often seem to vanish into thin air as soon as their bills come due.

Let's face it, if collecting a debt was as easy as making a phone call or writing a letter, there would be no need for collection agencies in the first place. Unfortunately, that's not the world we live in. All too often people simply refuse to pay their bills, not for lack of financial means, but simply from a lack of moral fiber. And the small business owners of this great nation are left holding the bag--an empty bag! And even if it was just a matter of asking debtors "pretty please with sugar on top" to pay their outstanding invoices, many often flee, leaving broken promises and a disconnected phone in their wake.

And even when the debtors stick around, business owners often don't know where to start when trying to get their money. They lack the knowledge and expertise, and in many cases they feel embarrassed at having been taken advantage of. Even worse, they feel helpless and hopeless. These are things professional debtors depend on to get away with their despicable actions.

Unfortunately for them, August Investments loves nothing better than hunting down these deadbeats and holding them accountable for their frauds. Armed with knowledge and experience we show no mercy to professional debtors. Working, not only as an advocate for our client, but as a defender of the American Dream itself, we clobber the bad guys and make them pay. With righteousness as our shield and the law as our sword, we do what we do best: We win.

God Bless America.
