Recording the conversation of the debtor While dealing with the delinquent debtors, make sure to record their conversations and to keep track of their obligations. Taking a Smart Decision While you decide on how to collect your accumulated debt, it's important to do a cost-benefit analysis and compare the cost of debt collection with that of debt recoverable. Different Clients, Different Approach The one-size-fits-all approach should not be followed while doing debt recovery because there may be some of your clients who don't have a mala fide intention and are rather unable to pay due to some personal financial difficulty.
