  • Collection Fees and Charges
    Any person who has a delinquent account maintained by the City will be responsible for all costs incurred by the City in collecting those delinquent funds.  This includes any direct costs incurred, including the cost of a third-party agency.
  • Third-party agencies
    If your delinquent account has been referred to a third-party agency, you must contact and pay them directly. Glendale is currently contracted with the following third-party agencies:

      Transworld Systems, Inc. 1-800-331-8019
      Bethune & Associates 1-800-783-5402

    If your delinquent account has been referred to a third-party agency and you make a payment to City of Glendale, a portion of the payment will be applied to the collection agency fee leaving a balance remaining until the delinquent balance and the collection fee are paid in full.
