Michigan Collections Firm Teaches Creditors how to Create Urgency

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. - April 9, 2025 - PRLog -- Have you sent a reminder to your debtor, and they're still not paying?

How do you craft effective reminders?

Debtors who have more debt than money (most of them) have to set priorities. You are competing with other creditors, and you need to make payment of your bill the debtor's priority.

When you follow up with your newly delinquent customers, you want to grab their attention. Common techniques for creating urgency include:

• Interest and penalties: Consistent with your credit agreement and state laws, add interest, late fees, or both. Give your debtor the unambiguous message that the consequence of dragging out payment is that they'll end up having to pay more money.
• Attention-getting words and "big red letters:" It's corny, but it works. Send notices more often with notations like "urgent" and "past due" on them in red ink. (If you're dealing with consumer debtors, keep any red ink that suggests the communications for debt collection inside the envelope. You can mark the envelope "urgent," but save words like "past due" for the printed invoice that you put inside.)
• Multiple modes of contact: Use different forms of communication to keep your reminders in front of your debtor: email, overnight delivery, telegram, hand delivery, fax, text messages, and even social networking websites – whatever works.
• Making a phone call: If collection letters and similar contacts don't result in payment, sometimes a phone call will bring in the money.

If you're continuing to work with your customer, consider cutting off further services or deliveries until payment is made. If you're lucky, you're a critical supplier to your debtor, and they'll need to pay you to avoid increased costs or disruptions, or perhaps even to stay in business.
