FAQ’s

Should I consider using an automated system for my accounts receivable collection service?

Automation has a place in every good system even accounts receivable collections. But not every aspect of the process of collecting accounts receivable can be automated. After all of your automations have been completed any invoices left unpaid will probably require a personal contact.

Are accounts receivable collections and bad debt collections the same thing?

No, accounts receivable collections and bad debt collections are not the same thing. Accounts receivable are the monies owed to a company for services rendered or for product shipped on credit. In other words not paid for at the time the service was rendered or the product was shipped.

Any business that offers terms will have accounts receivable, typically in the form of invoices. Whether or not those accounts receivable invoices require collection activity depends on a number of factors. Generally speaking once an invoice exceeds terms, whether those terms are net 10 days or net 30 days or longer, they are considered to be delinquent accounts and collection activity should begin. However these past due invoices are still not bad debt.

Bad debt collection occurs when receivables collections efforts have failed. It is at this stage that you might have to consider investigating bad debt collection agencies.

Is a customer who owes me money a debtor?

Not necessarily. According to Investopedia, Dictionary.com and Wikipedia a customer who owes you money is a debtor. However, we believe the Merriam-Webster definition to be more accurate. It states “The meaning of debtor is one guilty of neglect or violation of duty.”

When your customer fails to pay his/her past-due account within a reasonable amount of time, and after you’ve attempted to both collect the balance and resolve any issues your customer may have, he becomes a debtor. When you believe you’ve exhausted your attempts at collection and are considering or have used a contingency or flat-fee collection agency – your customer has become a debtor.
