Oilfield Freight Recovery Through Consignee Claims
An oilfield transportation company turned to Brillman, Schultz & Associates for help with approximately $200,000 in unpaid freight accounts. The companies originally billed had gone out of business or refused to pay, leaving completed hauls unpaid.
The challenge
The company that arranged a haul was not always the business that received the equipment. Some shipment records named a receiving company; others identified only a lease, well or delivery location. BSA needed to connect the unpaid invoices to the shipments and identify the parties whose payment responsibility could be pursued.
The approach
BSA reviewed invoices, signed bills of lading and delivery records, traced receiving locations, and researched the associated businesses. That work supported pursuing consignee claims where the shipment documents and circumstances provided a basis for payment responsibility.
The outcome
BSA successfully recovered payment on the approximately $200,000 in accounts requiring consignee pursuit. By following the shipment records beyond the original bill-to entry, BSA identified a recovery route after the original customers failed to pay.
