CBCS CREDIT CONTROL
Cash is King... Or so they say and in this economic climate, never has this been so important.
There are two contrasting issues, when a business looks at whether
to contract with an external collection company.
The first is the need for
cash: Can they deliver and or improve our own cash collection success? The second is; will I lose my
customers if I
use a collection company? The first question is dependant on the condition of your
aged debt. Do you have a large amount of uncollected overdue debt and are your
own collection methods failing to get the cash in? The second is dependant on
the approach the collection company uses to get the cash in.
We use a 3 stage letter cycle to chase
your debt. The FIRST letter a gentle polite reminder, the SECOND issued 7 days later, a polite reminder, but with the suggestion that failure to pay could lead to unspecified action and the THIRD letter, the final reminder again after 7 days, giving a deadline for payment,
against which further action will be taken if payment is not received.
Our letters are designed to be informative, but polite.
Accuracy is paramount and we will tailor are letter content and length of cycle
to your precise requirements. If your debtor contacts us following our
letter, our trained collectors will respond politely and professionally. These are your customers and we want them to stay that way.
Of course, if queries are preventing payment then it is
essential they are highlighted so they can be resolved. We will pass on any
query to you directly to allow you to reconcile and then if the account remains
unpaid, the collection process can start again. Irrespective of status, weekly status reports will remind you who has paid and who is due another letter.
So what happens if your debtor has still not paid after the
three week collection cycle? You need to demonstrate that you are serious about
collecting your debt and we would recommend taking further action to show you
mean business. You can place the customers account on stop or you can refer the
matter to us directly for us to pursue by legal channels. We use the County
Court Bulk Centre to fast process claims for county court and or our
legal partners for more complex or high value claims.
