How to Deal with the Elusive Customer

After your customer’s paying habits deteriorate, he or she may become elusive and avoid communication. Rather than picking up the phone and discussing the account, he or she may let your calls go straight to voicemail and won’t return them. On occasion, you may find that your customer’s voice mailbox is full and can accept no further calls. 

Elusion is a red flag. Put your customer at the top of your list for monitoring payments and exercise extreme caution when considering any further credit.

Get Creative When it Comes to Communicating with Your Debtor

The phone may not be the only way to communicate with your debtor. Possible solutions might include:

1. Show up on the debtor’s doorstep – Visiting your debtor may result in meaningful face-to-face communication, but there are potential drawbacks. Your debtor could have moved, or upon arrival rather than getting paid you may discover your debtor prefers to engage in a verbal confrontation.
2. Email – Look for an email address on the customer’s credit application, letterhead, purchase order, or website.
3. Fax- Sometimes even when the voicemail is down, the fax machine still works. A fax number may also appear on a letterhead, website or credit application.
4. Text- Even if the voicemail is full, your contact may still accept a text message.

How Strong is Your Case?

You’ll have to assess your case and determine whether it’s strong enough to win in either alternative dispute resolution or in court. Your evaluation of evidence should include: 

• Reviewing any letters or other written communications exchanged with the debtor, and your notes on any comments made orally.
• Analyzing the debtor’s likely claims and defenses.
• Evaluating the data objectively.

How to Determine Your Litigation Strategy

If you can’t get paid any other way, it may be time to consider collecting through a lawsuit. Before you jump straight into court, however, get things right by considering the following:

1. The strengths and weaknesses of your claim, and whether you need to settle for less than you want or write off the debt.
2. Whether you should file a lawsuit or instead consider alternative dispute resolution.
3. Who you should name as a defendant in your collections case.
4. What legal theories you should raise against the defendants.

Your goal is to devise the best strategy, right from the start, to achieve the best possible result.

Having Trouble Clearing a Check? Call in the Experts!

When a check you deposit doesn’t clear, your bank will return the check to you. The check will have a number of markings on the front and back, indicating when and where it was processed, and that it was rejected because of nonsufficient or insufficient funds. If the customer doesn’t immediately offer to replace the NSF check with a cashier’s check, deposit the same check a second time. 

The second time may be the charm and it may clear. Monitor your account to see if it fails to clear a second time, and if it does, seek debt collection help immediately. It’s time for aggressive action to be taken by the experts at Muller, Muller, Richmond and Harms, P.C. 

If all else fails, call in the experts! Learn more here!
