Have questions about your account, our process, or what to expect? Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive. If you need further assistance, please contact us directly or book a consultation.

Contact Us

1. Why did I receive a notice from Restitution Mediations?

You were contacted because our office has been assigned to recover a past-due balance owed to one of our clients. We have been authorized to initiate the recovery process and offer resolution options. We encourage you to respond promptly.

2. What should I do if I can’t pay the full amount?

We understand financial hardship occurs. Contact us immediately to discuss structured payment arrangements that may allow you to resolve your balance over time. Ignoring the issue may result in escalation.

3. Will resolving this debt help my credit?

Yes. Resolving a delinquent account may help reduce the long-term impact of collections on your credit file. Many credit scoring models reward account resolution over nonpayment.

4. How can I make a payment?

You may make a secure payment online or over the phone. For best results, we recommend you first speak with a recovery specialist or visit our Contact page to ensure you’re matched with the best resolution path.

5. How quickly can my account be resolved once I make contact?

Resolution can begin immediately. In many cases, payment plans or settlement terms can be arranged during your first conversation with a recovery specialist. The sooner you engage, the faster we can bring your account to a close.

6. Is this matter going to court?

Most accounts are resolved without legal action. However, if necessary, RMED may pursue legal remedies through appropriate channels. Early communication can often avoid escalation to litigation.

7. Is my personal information kept confidential?

Absolutely. All communications, payment details, and case files are handled securely and in full compliance with federal and state privacy regulations, including FDCPA and applicable data protection laws.

8. How quickly can my account be resolved once I make contact?

Resolution can begin immediately. In many cases, payment plans or settlement terms can be arranged during your first conversation with a recovery specialist. The sooner you engage, the faster we can bring your account to a close.

9. What if I already paid this debt to someone else?

Please contact our office with proof of payment. We will review your file and reconcile the records with our client. Do not ignore the notice—provide documentation as soon as possible.

10. What happens if I ignore the notice?

Failure to respond may result in continued collection efforts, negative credit reporting, or legal escalation, depending on the nature of the debt. Addressing the matter early increases your options for resolution.

11. What happens if I set up a payment arrangement and miss a payment?

Missing a scheduled payment may void your arrangement and place your account back into active collections. To avoid disruption or escalation, contact us immediately if you anticipate a delay—early communication gives us more flexibility to help you stay on track.

12. Can I negotiate a settlement for less than the full balance?

In many cases, yes. Depending on the creditor and account history, a reduced settlement may be available. Our office can present authorized offers or propose terms for resolution.

13. Will RMED contact my employer, landlord, or relatives?

No. We do not disclose your debt to third parties. Any communication with others (such as to locate you) will be made in compliance with the FDCPA and without revealing the nature of the account.

14. Will resolving this debt stop future collection efforts?

Yes. Once your account is paid in full or resolved through an approved settlement, collection activity on that account will cease. You’ll receive confirmation of resolution, and your account will be closed from active collections.

15. What types of accounts does Restitution Mediations handle?

We manage recovery for a wide range of account types including legal fees, retail balances, property management invoices, auto loans, credit card debts, and financial services receivables. Each account is handled with industry-specific compliance and enforcement strategies.
