Aberdeen Enterprizes II
An Introduction to Aberdeen’s
Court Cost Recovery Program
About Aberdeen
Established in 2006, Aberdeen Enterprizes II, Inc. (“Aberdeen”) has developed a highly successful process
for court cost recovery, which provides solutions for courts and defendants alike.
Our mission at Aberdeen is to provide ways to resolve outstanding warrants, increase court recovery and
reduce court costs, all with a personal approach. We believe debtors can fully satisfy their court debts by
receiving respect, customized payment plans and direction to needed community resources. We believe
that counties and municipalities deserve a solution that generates additional revenue, while costing
zero in collection expense and reducing court and jail costs.
Aberdeen oers a variety of benets that will increase revenue, decrease costs, and allow defendants
to fulll their obligations in a respectful manner. Aberdeen works exclusively with courts at the state,
county, and municipal levels. This focus allows us to better understand the needs, workload, processes,
and relationships inherent in the court system.
Aberdeen diers from other agencies by believing the defendant deserves our respect. We believe that
our job is not to be a problem for the defendant, but rather an aid in resolving their court debts.
Aberdeen understands that most defendants want to take care of their obligations to the court, but
may be experiencing dicult nancial circumstances or other hardships. We strive to build a relation-
ship with each defendant in order to understand their situation and help them build a plan to pay their
court debts in a manner that works for everyone. Aberdeen’s case managers encourage defendants to
pay their nes and fees in full, but also understand the need to arrange payment plans that t within the
defendant’s capabilities. Our case managers are dedicated to maintaining the relationship with a
defendant through payo, thus ensuring they have fullled their obligations to the court.
Aberdeen has earned the loyalty of our clients due to their condence in our process, sta, and the
results obtained. We are ready to create and implement your customized court cost recovery program.
We look forward to serving you.
Aberdeen Enterprizes II, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Advantages of Aberdeen
Aberdeen’s process creates an income stream for the court, rather than a “get what you can” approach to
collections. Our experience with court cost administration teaches us that upon locating and contact-
ing a defendant, the chance of completing full collections is very high. We think in terms of full recovery
over time, based upon the size of the obligation and the defendant’s ability to pay. Presently our income
stream for the state of Oklahoma is over a million dollars per month and growing.
Aberdeen is dedicated to keeping the court clear of uncollectable cases. We identify deceased
defendants to close les and recall failure to pay bench warrants. We also locate and track incarcerated
defendants until their release. Aberdeen identies true hardship cases and noties the court. We identify
the unemployed, persons on xed incomes, and social security disability recipients to set up payment
plans within their means. Our success is based upon understanding the defendant’s abilities to pay and
aiding them in resolving their debt fully.
Aberdeen is also dedicated to full recovery of older cases. Although the age of a case is a denite vari-
able, we have found that it does not determine the collection results. Aberdeen has successfully col-
lected outstanding nes and court cost on 20 year old cases, as well as more recent ones.
The benets to the court of using Aberdeen for court cost recovery include:
• Signicantly increasing the revenue going to the general and operations fund, permitting a
budget increase for all oces
• Recovering payable trac citations and ordinance violations that have gone uncollected
• Recovering court-ordered nes and costs that have been unpaid by defendants
• Recovering restitution
• Recovering outstanding parking tickets
• Sharing updated contact information for defendants
• Identifying deceased defendants and recalling warrants
• Identifying disabled defendants and creating a payment plan that ts their nancial abilities
• Referring defendants with records to employers that hire persons with records
• Fewer defendants jailed for failure to pay nes
• Less hours in custody to manage arrested defendants
• Reducing liability for medical expenses while in custody

Collection Process
Aberdeen does an individual deep skip trace to obtain a current address and/or telephone number
within 5 days of case assignment. Letters are then sent, oering a solution to the issue of outstanding
nes. The defendant can either resolve their nes fully by any number of our various accepted payment
options or they can contact us to receive a case manager. Their case manager will answer any questions
regarding their outstanding debt to the court and aid them in fullling their obligation. Case manag-
ers will also follow up on any letters that are not quickly responded to, either by phone, if available, or a
more in-depth skip trace to correctly locate and identify each defendant.
If the defendant contacts the court clerk’s oce, they can be easily redirected to our 1-800 number so a
case manager can handle any of the defendant’s needs, saving the court clerk valuable time. Even if the
defendant is arrested, Aberdeen can set up a payment plan or accept payments based on the rules of the
court. The sheri or police can then release the defendant from jail, reducing costs and court
appearances before the Judge.
Aberdeen enters all case information into our Debtmaster Professional system. Debtmaster creates an
individual case le for each defendant that is highly secure and tied to the court’s case le number to
ensure accuracy of information. Debtmaster will track all information for each defendant including
contact information, contacts made via telephone and letter, payment plan, payments received, and ac-
count activity by case managers. All information in Debtmaster is secure and backed-up daily.
Aberdeen expects full collection after locating and contacting a defendant in:
• 60 days for cases of $400 or less
• 120 days for cases of $401 - $800
• cases of $801+ being resolved based on the ability of the defendant to pay over time
Typically, we will put persons on disability or SSI on a minimum payment schedule of approximately $50
per month. Collection for incarcerated defendants may be delayed until their release. We locate and track
incarcerated individuals until released.
Our case managers will follow the guidelines outlined by each client in the customized collection plan
created with Aberdeen, but often plans include these general practices:
• Collect full balances under $500, with some exceptions
• Establish a 40% rst payment to recall the warrant on cases where the balance is over $500, fol-
lowed by reasonable monthly payments until the debt is resolved
• Provide a voice mail reminder 3 days prior to each payment’s due date
• Contact the debtor by phone to seek resolution, if payment becomes past due

Payment Options
While either the client or Aberdeen can accept the entirety of payments, we believe that recovery is
signicantly higher if Aberdeen processes the payments exclusively. Client recovery requires the
defendant to be proactive in a way that will reduce the likelihood of full recovery. Aberdeen has found
that creating a relationship, completing an initial payment, and consistent contact with the defendant
generates greater recovery with less reliance on the defendant.
Aberdeen is fully equipped to process all payments and provides the defendant with a variety of
payment options to better enable the completion of the payment plan. Aberdeen accepts:
• Mail-in Payments (money order, cashier’s check, certied check)
• Credit Card/Debit Card (via phone or secure payment website)
• Online Payment
• Check over the Phone
Aberdeen will provide the court with printed literature for defendants that may come to the court in
person. This will direct the defendant to our 1-800 number and website to set up a payment plan or to
make payments directly.
Aberdeen also provides a hybrid payment option. This allows defendants to pay through Aberdeen or in
person at the court. To facilitate the exchange of information, Aberdeen oers real-time access to pay-
ments made in our oce via the client portal, as well as bi-weekly disbursement updates via the Trust
Statement. Court sta can use the client portal to locate payment information for each defendant includ-
ing any payment plan agreements they have made with Aberdeen. Clients can upload a list of payments
taken at their location via the same secure portal.
Client Portal
Aberdeen provides access to case
information by way of an internet
based client portal system. This
secure online resource provides
valuable, real-time information to
the court sta. This information
includes:
• First Payment Received -
This lists the rst payments
received by Aberdeen and
noties the court that any
warrants for failure to pay/
contempt citation may be
recalled.
• Payment in Full - This lists
balances paid in full and
noties the courts that any
warrant for failure to pay/
contempt citation may be
recalled.
• Closed Accounts – This lists
the cases that should be re-
called from Aberdeen without
a balance reduction due to
the case being assigned in
error or the defendant being
deceased.
• Payment Agreements – This
is a comprehensive list of all
defendants making payment
arrangements during the
given time frame.
• Broken Promises – Aber-
deen’s has a due process
notice requirement, taking
about 45-60 days to attempt
to cure a defendant’s failure
to pay. Broken Promises lists
defendants that fail to make
payments under a payment
plan even after a due pro-
cess notice. This noties the
court a failure to pay bench
warrant/contempt citation is
requested.

• Defendant Refuses to Pay –
Although very rare, this is a
list of defendants who refuse
to pay or make payment ar-
rangements. Our information
will show our last address
for possible enforcement of
a failure to pay warrant/con-
tempt citation.
• List of All Active Accounts –
This is a comprehensive list
showing case number, name
of defendant, statement and
balance remaining of all
active cases.
• Newly Listed Account – This
list shows newly listed cases

defendant, state, date and
balance remaining of as-
signed cases.

Client Portal Con’t
Aberdeen’s Client Portal also allows your oce to search for a defendant by name or case number.
The searches will provide such vital case information as the full name, case number and status, current
balance, driver’s license numbers, state of issuance, and current address. It will also state the date and
amount of next payment due.

Remit Collections to the Court
Aberdeen will send a Trust Statement to the court every two weeks that details the amounts collected,
case information, and case balances. The Trust Statement provided to the client will detail all of the funds
collected and those funds due Aberdeen. Each month, Aberdeen will remit 100% of all funds collected to
the client. To assist with proper accounting practices, the client will receive all funds collected and then
remit Aberdeen’s fees on a monthly basis.

meet the tax commission’s criteria, format them and provide them to the tax commission. We will also
mail the Notice of Intercept to the defendant. Below is the process used to create a tax intercept.

Collections Results
Collection results for individual municipalities and counties vary according to the number of cases and
the outstanding balance of each case that is submitted to Aberdeen for recovery. With these variables in
mind, the following are examples of collection results based on municipality/county population for 2012:
Municipality/County Population Total Collected in 2012
Our mission at Aberdeen is to provide ways to resolve outstanding warrants, increase court recovery
and reduce court costs, all with a personal approach. We believe debtors can fully satisfy their debts by
receiving respect, customized payment plans and direction to needed community resources. We believe
that counties and municipalities deserve a solution that generates additional revenue, while costing zero
in collection expense and reducing court and jail costs.
We look forward to talking to you about our procedures and all of your recovery needs.
