Educational Tidbits For Today's Credit Executive
Collecting Past-Due Bills

Whenever the economy slows down or has trouble regaining its strength, credit and finance executives may notice troubling signs of a slowdown in payments from debtors. Slow-paying accounts can cost creditors extra time and money in collection attempts, fees for collection agencies and legal costs. All of this can be a drain on the company's cash. Therefore, it is essential that those in charge of the credit/collection function take extra care to make sure statements have clear payment terms on them. They must also make prompt phone calls on late-paying accounts and properly log all correspondence with debtors, noting the day and time each customer is called.
