A hotel that is based in a Leisure market serving tour groups such as Orlando, Florida or Anaheim, California has no choice in having to solicit tour groups to their tourist destination.  The hotel generally sets up payment on a standard “Net 30" with the tour operator with their tour groups and individual travelers who carry vouchers to the hotel called “F.I.T.” reservations.  “Net 30" means that the hotel will submit a bill to the tour operator for their guests who have used their services, and the tour operator will pay them within “30 days”. 

Unfortunately, payment to the hotel is delayed to “60 or 90" days, depending on the financial status of the tour operator. 

The solution to collecting these outstanding receivables is Commercial Lawyers Network--a group of attorneys who are located in the United States and in major cities in Foreign Countries who collect these account receivables on behalf of the hotel. 

Collecting a debt in a Foreign Country is much more difficult than collecting a debt in the United States. 
 

 Commercial Lawyers Network demonstrated its expertise in this area by collecting a debt that was 180 days old for the Holiday Lodge in San Francisco.  The hotel had a debtor who was a tour operator in Mexico City.  Because of the language problems described above, the hotel found it impossible to collect the debt.  Commercial Lawyers Network collected it promptly.  They used a local attorney in Mexico City to collect the debt.  The hotel was paid in less than three weeks from the time they submitted their claim form to Commercial Lawyers Network. 

The hotel viewed the amount of money they collected as “found” money.
