Meet James Balogh and Gary Becker.
Two pioneers in the debt recovery industry; two visionaries who possess a long and distinguished history of leadership and innovation. From interacting with diverse audiences to navigating the delicate process of deceased account recovery, Jim and Gary bring nearly four decades of specialized experience, expertise and ethics.
James Balogh
Jim Balogh has a long history in database creation and debt recovery. Nearly 20 years ago, Jim founded Banko®, the credit industry's most complete source of U.S. bankruptcy filings. Leveraging that successful experience, as well as nearly 10 years of probate research and expertise, Jim created the Probate Finder® Solution, the collection industry's only national, systematically-maintained probate information source.
Gary Becker
For three decades, Gary has been a legal leader in the debt recovery industry. From his experience as a certified Creditors' Rights Specialist to leading the way as a founding board member of the National Association of Retail Collection Attorneys,
Gary has a rich history in the legal and regulatory space.
DCM Services: The Road to Success
In 1999, Jim and Gary joined forces to create the concept that would become the recognized industry standard for deceased account recovery: data-driven collections performed in a respectful and dignified manner for all involved. In July 2007, DCM Services was created to continue and expand the survivor-sensitive approach Jim and Gary pioneered. Today, DCM Services combines Jim and Gary's unique vision for deceased collections with rights to the use of the Probate Finder® Solution from Forte, LLC. Currently, Jim serves on the Board of Directors of DCM Services and Gary is DCM Services' Chairman and General Counsel.
