Listed
below are some collection guidelines for how we start
the collection on a Past Due bill. When placing your
claim, you can choose where we start the process. |
| |
Initial
Approach: Our collectors begin the process
by informing the debtor we are attempting to clear
up some outstanding invoices for xyz company, that
their name was on the list and a review shows your
account past due. When do you expect to get this account
current and can we help? |
| |
Strong
Approach: Our Strong approach involves Phone
calls, but no personal visits. The debtor will be
informed that serious action will be taken if the
debt is not paid immediately. There will be a sense
of urgency in getting this account promptly paid.
|
| |
Attorney
Approach: During the Attorney approach, we
will have a collections attorney in the debtor's local
area call and make demands to assist in the debt recovery.
If a personal visit is necessary, the action will
be taken. |
| |
Final
Demand Approach: Action
will be taken to do what needs to be done within legal
boundaries, to collect the bad debt short of litigation. |
| |
Litigation:
If
all of the above efforts fail to collect your bad
debt, we will consult with you regarding the possibility
of suing the debtor. If the suit seems appropriate
to proceed, our Legal Department can help facilitate
this procedure. |
