The best time to recover a debt.
After the last blog talking about old debts, we had questions regarding when is the best time to recover a debt? A case can be made that some debts require a time to cool down and breathe before attempting to recover once more. Others may claim for slow payers that letting your client get in a better financial position can be profitable.
None of this is false, every debt is different and involves different people in unique situations.
So when is best?
As soon as possible – let me explain.
I agree that so many circumstances can affect timing, including the above and your own budget, unless you are protected. We see this every day in every case. Every situation has a key moment where all the cards are lined up and the chances are the best they can be. Sometimes collection happens after a 2 minute talk with a debtor, sometimes after 3 emails and others after almost winding up a company.
My question is, why risk it? If someone owes you money, chances are you aren’t the only one. A few articles including 10 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Paying Off Debt (written by Bill Fay) mention many debtors fall into the trap of a snowball effect of debts. Most helpful organisations push debtors to pay off one debt at a time. What happens if you follow-up on payments for a year before collection? You are now at the back of the line.
Recovering Debts is what we do.
