FAQ for Forwarders

The Forwarders List is a list of attorneys who receive collection matters from out-of-town and local collection agencies and creditors. The List is printed annually and is also available on our website. All firms are screened before they are listed, which ensures that our clients have access to the premier firms in the industry.

The Forwarders List of Attorneys can help anyone who wants or needs help in forwarding collection cases to attorneys. Collection agencies, lawyers, debt buyers, and credit managers use our list regularly.

Qualified forwarders may call 800-638-9200 or e-mail info@forwarderslist.com to request a copy. The directory is free to forwarders who have cases to send to listed attorneys.

The Forwarders List makes every effort to have the most up-to-date and reliable information about its attorneys. While attorneys are responsible for letting us know when their information changes, we do have regular contact with the attorneys and make every effort to update listings.

To have your cases protected by the bond, you must provide information about the case that you have sent to an attorney, including your company’s name as the forwarder, the name of the firm the case is sent to, the name of the debtor, the amount of the case, and the date upon which the case was sent.

You can send your information by e-mail or by using the official coupon found in the back of The Forwarders List. A copy of the forwarding letter being sent to the attorney may also be mailed or faxed to us for bonding.

The Forwarders List of Attorneys carries a $1 Million surety bond through the Great American Insurance Company. We will bond any claim sent to attorneys in The Forwarders List against embezzlement or fraudulent failure to make accounting or overcharge. The length of the coverage is 36 months and can be extended for an additional 12 months. A written request for extended coverage by the forwarder is needed at the end of the initial 36 months. The bond will also cover any court costs that you may have sent to the attorney, in cases where suit was not filed. This is not malpractice insurance coverage.
