This landmark endeavor on the part of these three groups is a classic example of the unity in today’s asset recovery industry and what can be accomplished by working together for the betterment of the men and women in the industry.

It is a privilege to witness the camaraderie displayed by the representatives of these 3 groups, working as one with no hidden agendas, no egos, and only the welfare and safety of all members of this industry as their prime concern.

This unselfish act on the part of these three groups, united for the welfare and continuation of the industry, is a first step in a “UNITED FRONT” for future improvements for all members of the asset recovery industry.
