COLLECTING OVERDUE DEBTORS

COLLECTING OVERDUE DEBTORS

29 Sep 2017   

Most companies have a big concern regarding their overdue debtors and provision for doubtful debts (“PDD”). The issue of overdue debtors is raised at every management review, with little follow up action later on due to efforts, manpower and time required to reduce debtors or focus on PDD reversal.

The “cost of capital” and “cost of inaction” is very high and leads to further increase in overdue debtors.

The reduction in debtors cannot be done by the sales team splitting their time between overdue collections and meeting their sales targets. If such overdue collections or PDD reversal were possible by the company internally, the results would have been achieved already.

Reduction in debtors or reversal of PDD requires spending considerable time in relationship building and convincing the customers to pay the overdue amounts, submitting the required documentation, etc. and:

  • Understanding the customers’ “Ability to pay” OR “Intention to pay”
  • Resolution of commercial and service issues – nonpayment used as a negotiation tool
  • Customer account reconciliations, on account payments, etc

The best way to reduce debtors is to let an experienced and professional B2B services company focus on overdue collections and reversal of PDD as a onetime assignment. The professional company brings the collections on track and then exits the assignment.
