4 Ways to Simplify Debt Recovery

Dealing with delinquent customers can be stressful. As such, you need a plan to handle late and non-paying customers. Streamline your debt collection process to reduce the costs associated with debt recovery. A streamlined process can also help increase debt recovery rate without impacting customer relationships.

Streamlining your debt recovery process involves more than just sending payment reminders to late-paying customers. You also need to adopt a more contemporary approach to debt collection.

Follow these tips to create a more customer-focused and effective debt recovery process.

Send Account Updates in Real Time

If you have too many non-paying or late-paying customers, invest in an advanced tool with the capability to update delinquency data in real time. Such tools generate statements automatically and send notifications to customers to notify them about their dues well in advance so they can set a sum aside to meet their obligations.

An automated debt collection process can lift some burden off the shoulders of your collection agents and also help ensure that they do not annoy customers who have already cleared their dues by calling them. This saves time and effort, and improves process efficiency. Automated debt collection can also help reduce paperwork.

Let Your Customers Tell You How They Want to be Contacted

The benefits of a robust multi-channel strategy outweigh the cost of implementing it.

Ask your customers to fill out a contact preference form to indicate their preferred contact method. Use machine learning and advanced analytics to deliver personalized messages through customers’ preferred communication channels at the right time.

Use Scheduled Payment Reminders for Follow-up

Use scheduled payment reminders such as text messages and emails to follow up with borrowers. This is a less invasive method than filing a lawsuit for debt recovery. Following up with a late-paying customer is a great way to establish the importance of and show that you are serious about recovering the debt owed to you.
