Staying Professional when Calling Debtors
- Don’t say you’re going to sue the debtor if you don’t actually intend to file a lawsuit if you don’t receive payment.
- Don’t talk to third parties about the debtor’s account.
- Don’t threaten or harass a debtor.
- Don’t try to collect debts directly from a debtor who has just filed bankruptcy (see last month’s article).
- Don’t threaten debtors with criminal charges if they don’t pay the debt.
- Don’t contact debtors directly if you know they’re represented by a lawyer in relation to the debt you’re collecting.

Documenting Disappointment for a Paper Trail
Have you been keeping a detailed file on your debtor?
Documenting your disappointment is another aspect to add to the debtor’s file to create a convincing a paper trail.
Suppose you’ve reached an understanding and sent written confirmation to the debtor but haven’t heard anything back – no confirmation, no check, no apology. Send another letter reiterating the debtor’s admission and the agreement, and expressing your disappointment at the fact that the debtor didn’t follow through.
Learn what to do when you receive oral admissions!
