Collection agency
We utilize Unique Management Services (UMS) to recover overdue library materials and fees. Our system will automatically submit unpaid accounts based on the following schedule:
- 7 days past due: We send the 1st notice for library materials.
- 14 days past due: We send the 2nd notice for library materials.
- 21 days past due: We send the 3rd and final notice for library materials.
- 45 days past due: We send a bill for lost library materials.
- 60 days past due: We send your account to the collection agency if your account balance is $25 or more. We also add a non-refundable $10.00 service charge to your account, which covers the cost the collection agency charges us per account. Over the next 120 days, the collection agency will make multiple attempts to contact you to request the return of the library materials and the payment of any outstanding charges.
