Show Notes

Today on Fast Fix Monday we’re going to discuss the five steps of the debt collection process.

  1. Contact 
    You have to contact your overdue accounts.  That should be a daily task.  People don’t like chasing down others for money but once you get into a rhythm it will get a lot easier.

  2. Written demand 
    If the contact process doesn’t work you should follow-up with a written demand.

  3. Negotiate 
    Be willing to negotiate.  They many have reasons about why they are not paying,  Listen to their concerns and be prepared to reduce the liability.

  4. Debt collection agency 
    These companies are quite effective at recovering your debt but they do cost money.

  5. Legal action
    You’ve sent letters of demand but you still haven’t been paid.  Your final option is to go to court.  This can cost a lot of money.  You want to be sure that the money you are owed is worth the expense.

Twice a week we are going to deliver those tools right to your home or office with Business Legal Lifecycle TV.  We’ll start the week with Fast Fix Monday, a short 5-10 minute video that will tackle a single issue that businesses have to deal with.  Then on Wednesday’s our main show will feature with more fulsome discussions and interviews all delivered in a straightforward and easy to understand format.
