Our longevity in the collection industry is a testament to the results we provide to our clients. While we have great pride in our history, we continue to evolve with the times, providing innovative products and services to meet our clients’ needs. We are proud of the feedback we have received from our clients over the years. Below are a few testimonials from a sampling of our clients:
Dane County Clerk of Circuit Court P.B., Court Manager
What distinguishes The Stark Collection Agency of Madison, WI from other collection agencies is that the service
they provide to a client is of such a high quality, that the client feels as if she/he is their only client. I
believe that in the past six and a half years while working with the Dane County Clerk of Court's Office, The
Stark Agency's business has continued to grow. The service provided by The Stark Agency during that time has not
diminished in the least. The Stark Agency has a good understanding of the differences between collecting
for a government agency and private for profit agency. The Stark Agency has made changes over time in their system
to adapt to the needs of the Dane County Clerk of Court's Office. I believe that The Stark Agency shows
respect for debtors and does what it can to work with them to achieve a win/win situation. In my opinion it is very
important for a "governmental contracted agency" to treat the public/debtors with respect. Any collection
agency can collect money. The Stark Agency does a very good job at that and much more! I highly recommend The Stark
Agency as a collection agency! "
Sauk County Clerk of Court V.M., Sauk County Clerk of Circuit Court
This memo is in regard to our business relationship with the The Stark Agency. We have been working with them since
December 2007. They have proved to be professional, reputable, knowledgeable and accommodating. Whenever a
concern arises, they promptly apply their efforts to resolving the issue at hand. They are very easy to work with
and are willing to go the extra mile to achieve satisfactory results. When retaining a collection agency,
I had high expectations for increased revenue. The Stark Agency has definitely met those expectations thus far.
Our collections results have been very positive. We look forward to a continued working relationship with them and
highly recommend them. "
Pizza Hut of Southern Wisconsin J.K., Corporate Controller
Pizza Hut of Southern Wisconsin has enjoyed a successful and profitable relationship with The Stark Agency since 2000.
During this time, we have seen a significant increase in our debt recovery rate, as much as 50% in some locations.
In addition to the exceptional recovery work, Stark always promptly responds to our needs. Stark's IT Manager, Brian Stenzel,
has been able to create a variety of customized reports for us, including a weekly report of bad check writers which always
promptly arrives every Friday in preparation for our busy weekend. No matter what our requests has been, Brian has been able
to meet our needs. In addition, Jack Femyer and other Agency staff have provided free onside consulting and training
which has also directly increased our profitability. We are extremely pleased with the results Stark has provided,
to the extent that they now provide exclusive collection services to all 34 of our locations. We highly recommend
The Stark Agency. "
Dunn County Health Care Center L.M. CPA, CBM Business Manager
Dunn County Health Center began working with Government Recovery Solutions and The Stark Agency in 2006. We are very pleased
with how responsive they have been to our needs and with the results they have provided to us. Stark's IT Manager
Brian Stenzel was able to create templates for us that we use to submit our placements to them electronically. He also created
very user-friendly instructions to submit files via their SFTP site. And he is willing and able to create reports to meet our
needs. We're very pleased with how easy it has been to work with Government Recovery Solutions. And we're very pleased
with the recovery rate they have provided to us which hovers around 52%. I highly recommend Government Recovery Solutions
to any government agency that wants great debt recovery results. "
Dunn County Department of Human ServicesJ.D., Billing Account Technician
Dear Mr. Summers: I would like to take this opportunity to express my satisfaction with Dunn County's decision to acquire
collection services from The Stark Agency. From my very first telephone contact with you I felt confident and enthusiastic about
the potential of increased and timely collection services. That initial conviction has proven correct. In the past two years our
Department has garnered remarkable results from our relation ship with The Stark Agency. Your ability to collect on past, extremely
delinquent accounts, significantly exceeds that of our previous collection service. The Stark Agency personnel have been
attentive and prompt in all requests made of them. The monthly progress reports are clear and concise; providing individual as well
as total collection information for the current month and the history of the account as a whole. Online access to account information
is extremely valuable and available in a user friendly secure internet set up. It is my belief that the conscientious and
cooperative rapport established between the Stark Agency and the Dunn County Department of Human Services has resulted in a mutually
beneficial association that will have a continued positive outcome for all. Respectfully "

Lincoln County Sherrif's Department Lt N.W., Jail Administrator
Dear Mr. Summers: I would like to take this opportunity to express my satisfaction with the service provided by The

Agency has demonstrated a unique ability to collect extremely delinquent accounts and has exceeded our expectations in this
service. The personnel of the The Stark Agency have been attentive and prompt in all requests made of them, along with monthly
reports that are easily understood and concise. It is my belief that the relationship established with The Stark Agency
and Lincoln County has resulted in a mutually beneficial association that will have a continued positive outcome for all.
Respectfully "
Lincoln County Department of Social Services R.R., Fiscal Information Specialist
Dear Mr. Summers: I wanted to write you a brief note, and let you know how happy I am that our agency has switched to
The Stark Agency for our collection services. Since August, when we came on board with you, I have been continually impressed
not only with the collections coming in, but with the outstanding service as well. I ran some numbers for my supervisor
last week, running a comparison between your company and the previous one, and here is what i discovered: we submitted $16,000 in
accounts to The Stark Agency between October 2007 and February 2008, $3,300 of which has already been collected. I went back to
2002 for the old agency, and in 5 years they collected a total of $3,300 on $60,000 in submissions. I was also able to recall
most of the active accounts submitted to the other agency, transfer them to your company, and I am confident that this will result
in even more collections for our county. We are also very impressed with the electronic information exchange used by Stark,
we feel that it is not only more secure, but far more efficient for both your company and our agency. The monthly progress reports
are a great tool for keeping us appraised of where we are in the collection process. Overall Stark has proven to be not only much
easier to work with, but far more effective. Thank you for all of your efforts on our behalf, I look forward to a long and
profitable relationship. "
