Bill collection company American Profit Recovery started a fund raising effort in an attempt to help people trying to bring relief to the Haiti earthquake victims. American Profit Recovery has chosen the Saint Rock Haiti Foundation which is a charity that provides medical care for the people of Haiti.

There are three different ways in which the collection agency will come up with money. Five percent of the proceeds from their biggest trade show will be donated. The money will come from all sales at the show as well as all of the sales that they received in February.

Employees were able to help the cause by donating money for the opportunity to dress casually on every Monday in February. Food purchased at any of their three locations will also go directly to Saint Rock Haiti Foundation.

American Profit Recovery chose Saint Rock Haiti Foundation after one of their employees brought the organization to its attention. And by picking this charity, it will have the opportunity to apply to the Grand Lodge of Masons over in Massachusetts to match their donation, doubling fund raising efforts.

A debt collection company with offices in North Carolina, Massachusetts, and Michigan, American Profit Recovery was founded in 2004, and deals mostly with the collection of third party debt in professional industries such as banking, trades, medical and dental, and lawn care.

APR has a sharp focus on good business practices and diplomacy with debtors. They attempt to keep the relationship between debtor and client cordial; their goal is to keep the business relationship going.

According to recent studies, collection companies that train their workers in empathy are the latest trend and the most successful. If someone is being called by numerous collection agencies, they are more likely to work with the collector that has shown compassion. More debt collection companies could take a lesson from APR and start giving back to the community.
