A refreshingly different approach
The older a debt gets, the more difficult and expensive it becomes to recover. That’s why we are firm believers in preventing debt happening in the first place and, if it does occur, catching debt quick wherever possible. For us, the key is to get customers to talk using the most effective channels. Why not outsource your in-house early arrears collections to us? Working as an extension of your company, we'll use our experience and expertise to resolve customer debt early on in the cycle.
Segmenting customer types
Creating healthy dialogue with customers keeps them engaged. It also means we are able to identify vulnerable customers and treat them sympathetically and appropriately. By using sophisticated data intelligence, together with our own expertise, we treat customers fairly and adopt the right collections approach for each individual case.
Tracing missing customers
Where difficulties arise, it is often due to you not knowing who to chase. We have specific expertise in accessing data and conducting field visits to establish who lives at an address and tracing people who have left an address. Enabling recovery from customers you've lost touch with, we are able to collect debt due that may otherwise have been written off.
