We have every one of our managed properties enrolled in these services to avoid utility shutoff damages.

We use a third party servicer to do all of this - much easier and when starting just tracked payments in wuickbooks as servicer tracked everything else 

I have read I will need to use a third party service to make this happen.  

I have had no issues with using their rent collection services. 

I'm looking to not only share my experiences but also offer my services to those who might need them.

I suggest using a service like Mayistay.

Private is an option too, but again, a pay for service on top of the permit fees, etc.   

Our experience is that many lenders/servicer customer representatives may not know the protections that exist for those that want to put asset protection steps in place. 

Is there a certain direct mail service they prefer?  

Even large and small businesses with intangible residual services like TV, internet, security, pest control or the local contractor with remodels in process could fall behind on payments revenue contract.
