Debt Collection: What Are Your Options?

In a previous article, we talked about the things to expect when you start a debt collection case.

For corporations, especially in today’s economy, struggling to collect payments from clients can quickly turn into a serious financial problem. The fact that debt collection is often a difficult process to complete can make the situation even worse.

Fortunately, the increasing demand for collection services has made a number of new options available. In this article, we are going to take a closer look at those options and how they can help you deal with personal and corporate debtors.

Direct Collection

Directly trying to collect debts is the first option you should explore. Sometimes, simply connecting with the business owners at the end of the line and negotiating a better payment plan can make collecting debts easier to handle. The economy is showing a steady rate of growth, which means companies that faced difficulties in paying their bills before should have more options available to them this time around.

You can even consider offering deals to persuade debtors to settle their debts. Adding a 5% discount to the total invoice when a payment is made before a certain date, for instance, is a great way to add an extra incentive to debtors. Incentives, no matter how small they may be, are more powerful than possible punishments in this type of negotiation.

Professional Collection Services

If you can’t reach a deal through direct negotiation, it’s time to bring in professionals. A number of professional collection services are there to help you deal with debt collection issues. The best commercial collection agency can handle everything from complete background investigations to skip tracing and a thorough credit analysis if required.

Professional collectors are also good at formulating payment plans. When dealing with debtors who don’t have the financial capacity to repay their debts in full, a lucrative payment plan is exactly the thing you need to get the debt paid.

If you do choose to work with a commercial collection agency, make sure to find one with an in-house law firm. This will save you a lot of time and money and will make the whole process of debt collection easier to manage. Professional collectors will always take the best steps according to the situation, including when dealing with a possible legal filing.

Court

Starting a debt collection case is your last resort. This process starts with serving notice to the defendant after filing for the case. You can find out more about the process from the Debt Collection Case article mentioned earlier.

Keep in mind that this is a complicated procedure to go through. However, it can be very effective when used against debtors who have big principal amounts to repay or those who have been avoiding collection for quite some time.

Debt collection doesn’t have to turn into a big issue, especially if you choose to go the correct route based on the situation your company is facing. Review the options we covered in this article and start working towards getting the debts repaid right away.
