About Commercial Receivers | A Generational Collections Agency

About Us

Commercial Debt Collection

Affordable, Personalized, Accountable

Long story short

Here’s what you get when you engage Commercial Receivers, Inc.

Low Cost Debt Collection
Personalized Service
Accountability

These are the 3 pillars on which we’ve built our debt collection agency:

Low Cost Debt Collection

What should be most important to you, as a business that has other businesses owing them money, is that Commercial Receivers is among the lowest cost of all the collection agencies that you will encounter. We are a low-cost collection agency by virtue of our own low overhead, but there are no compromises when it comes to getting you paid. However, price does not define a business. We opened our doors in 1982, totally focused on doing a few things very well, and very differently. We are focused, limiting ourselves to commercial collections, and as a generational collections agency, we have the expertise and know-how to collect your debt for you.

Personalized Service

We are a small, tight-knit agency. We call ourselves a “boutique debt collection agency”. Commercial Receivers is a business where you can still talk to the owner. We keep our overhead low, and our team incredibly stable. You will be dealing with professionals that truly understand how to effectively get you paid quickly, and without it costing a fortune. You will NOT be an anonymous debt submission. You will be a client, receiving services and attention deserving of any client of any business.

Accountability

This stems from our founder’s former career as a photographer to some of the most influential politicians of the day. Having attained Secret Service security clearance to perform such work meant he reached the highest level of reliability, professionalism and accountability. That same attitude is pervasive in how we do business with your company. A large part of accountability is ensuring that our clients always know exactly where each debt is in the process. No black holes, no shuffling, but instead constant, instant and meaningful reporting at every turn.

We understand that it is YOUR money we collect.

You deserve as much back as possible,

as timely as practical,

and with as much transparency as is feasible.

Who Is Our “Typical” Debt Collection Client?

Oddly, there is no “typical” debt collection client. Our experience leaves us able to work with large enterprise creditors, while our size and low cost allow us to work for small business. Two things in common with all of our clients are:

They appreciate paying the Lowest Debt Collection Fees in the Industry, keeping more of their money for themselves.
They have commercial debtors, businesses that owe them money.

Commercial Receivers, Incorporated is a Commercial Debt Collection Agency, we do not perform government, or retail, or medical, or student debt collections. We are strictly business to business. Our clients enjoy a unique and personable relationship with CRI, and they keep more of their own money that we collect on their behalf.

We have all the right tools, let us Help You Get Back What you are owed, without it costing you an arm and a leg!

Our Team

As a family run business, we hold each other accountable, so that you, our debt collection client, can hold us accountable. Meet the core team that drives Commercial Receivers, Incorporated.

Robert I. Wall

Founder

We mourn the loss of our founder, Robert I. (“Bob”) Wall, on January 26, 2018. In 1982, Bob founded Commercial Receivers Incorporated as a young, married man, with a three-year-old daughter and six-month-old son. Three years later, his wife, Carol, accompanied him on his journey, and together they built a generational commercial collections agency.

Prior to founding Commercial Receivers, Bob was raised in Bronx, New York, and graduated from The City College of New York with a degree in political science. He spent his early post-graduate years in photojournalism, working first as a freelance magazine photographer and later as the staff photographer for The Arizonian. His portfolio ultimately led to his obtaining Secret Service clearance to photograph President Gerald Ford, subsequent presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.

After a successful career in photography, Bob’s interest turned towards the field of commercial finance and commercial collections. He envisioned a company that was much like the neighborhood he grew up in — a family-owned business where he knew his clients personally and, in turn, his clients knew him. Few people are as dedicated to their cause, as tenacious, as naturally business-oriented and, above all, kind, as Bob was. To top it all off, he could tell the best jokes around, and not one day went by when he wasn’t cackling over some new gem, or remembering an oldie-but-goody. While Bob will be deeply missed by all, his vision and unwavering dedication to an agency dedicated to collecting accounts for creditors at the lowest rates while providing thorough and complete service will be continued through the efforts of his family. The same warm, personal service will be extended to all.

Carol Wall

Vice President

A native of Richmond, Virginia, Carol attended Virginia Commonwealth University. Her career began in banking at Bank of Virginia. She initially cut her teeth in the Investment Department assisting in the purchase and sale of Federal Funds for the bank. Later she transferred to the Real Estate Department making home loans. Her next assignment was in the Trust Department assisting in the management of trust accounts. Her last tour of duty came in the Public Relations Department under its director and reporting to the chairman, assisting in the production of the quarterly reports, annual reports and the in-house news letter. She helped with arrangements for the bank’s annual meetings and special meetings of the boards.

Her career at the bank ended when her husband, Bob, started Commercial Receivers in 1982. Once it was underway, he said he needed her in his own public relations department so she hung up her banker’s hat, stepped into the realm of collections and has never looked back. For her, it’s been a great feeling of pride and accomplishment helping to grow a business from the ground up. As she says, “It has been both very challenging and gratifying!”

In her spare time, Carol has shown her dogs, at present one award-winning Scottie and one perpetually happy English Cocker.
