Hello Will First, thanks for your service!

We used a service and a proven letter, I mailed every month for 6 months, actually alternating 500 every two weeks, so I had more time to follow up with the usually 30-ish responses. 

I am an agent (which helps with the ROI) and I would certainly recommend my services :)

That way I atleast saved interest payment on commission to be paid for which minimal service was offered.

We service everything ourselves (because we're cheap right now--please don't judge us too harshly).
