I.C. System to Open a Branch Office in La Crosse, Wisconsin

St. Paul, Minn. (June 1, 2007) – I.C. System announced it will open a branch office this July in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Initial hiring calls for nearly 20 employees with plans for more than 70 by year-end. The office will have approximately 250 employees when fully staffed.

“We’re extremely excited about opening our new office in La Crosse and becoming a long-term member of the community,” said Barbara Erickson, I.C. System’s Chairman of the Board. “We’re very confident the La Crosse office will quickly and significantly contribute to I.C. System’s overall success and continue to do so for many years to come. The last three collection branches we’ve opened - Mason City, Iowa; Fargo, North Dakota; and Tampa, Florida - have a combined 30+ years of ongoing expansion in their respective communities.”

I.C. System has experienced increased demand for its industry-leading services from 30,000 existing clients. Additionally, new clients (small businesses to Fortune 500 companies) are added daily. Both factors dictated the need for another office. I.C. System conducted a national search for a location and La Crosse was clearly the top choice, according to Erickson.

“La Crosse offers a very educated and experienced labor force, it met our demographic and population requirements, and is a very attractive community,” Erickson added.

I.C. System’s office will be located at 606 George Street and occupy 13,000 square feet of the building. Future plans include relocating to a larger site in La Crosse within a couple years.

The company is currently filling management-track, collector positions which support some of the nation’s largest credit grantors. Job responsibilities include making telephone contacts to resolve past-due accounts by making payment arrangements. Collectors communicate with debtors located throughout the country.

I.C. System plans a grand-opening celebration of the La Crosse office in July, which will include a ribbon cutting ceremony and other festivities.
