Course description

Collecting monies owed to your organization can be a big exercise in frustration if you're not familiar with strategies that get results and keep you legally compliant with government guidelines. Gain information and techniques in this debt collection training to help collect debts more quickly and efficiently.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was established to protect consumers from unfair treatment at the hands of debt collectors. Failure to comply with any part of the Act's strict guidelines and requirements can result in sizeable fines, penalties and judgments. Therefore, it is critical that you become familiar with the FDCPA's regulations to avoid legal action being taken against you and the organization.

Not only do you need to understand and abide by collections law, you need to know the strategies and techniques to easily and effectively contact and deal with debtors. Let our workshop help! From account categorization and prioritization, to resource allocation and contacting procedures, what you learn here will help the organization develop, implement and follow a formal process for handling all collections.

This power-packed one-hour course will uncover specific techniques and strategies for developing a formal debt collection process that will save time and effort in contacting debtors and managing delinquent accounts.
