Debt Resolution Services – Field Services

Debt Resolution Services – Field Services

Field Services are an effective pre-litigation option after office-based telephone collection activities have ceased and payment remains outstanding. Credit Style has an established and proactive solution to recover business debt in the field, which leans on our expert mediation and negotiation skills to secure outstanding payments or set up payment plans during in-person visits to the customer premises.

Our agents gather extremely valuable in-person knowledge of the customer that brings clarity to their ability, or inability, to pay the funds owed. Adopting this mediatory approach ensures every conceivable settlement option has been explored before the commencement of any court action. We provide field visit reports confirming the outcome of each visit, providing current data on the case, which informs write-off policies and creates an evidential trail for future external and internal audits.

Field Services can be introduced at any point during the recovery of a business debt and can be tailored to meet each client’s specific requirements.

Debt Resolution Services – Motor Finance

Debt Resolution Services – Motor Finance

Credit Style has developed a specialist motor finance collection service featuring a series of niche, cost-effective solutions. Should a motor finance agreement become in arrears regardless of whether it is regulated or unregulated, more or less than one-third of the contract value has been settled, or it is a Hire Purchase or Personal Loan debt, then in-person mediation with your customer is highly effective in avoiding litigation and repossession through negotiating a settlement.

Our specialist agents conduct debt remediation field visits with care and absolute consideration for all customer circumstances. During these in-person visits, we gather extremely valuable knowledge of the customer, which brings clarity to their ability, or inability, to pay the funds owed.

After each field visit, we produce a comprehensive report confirming the agreement reached or, based on merit, the appropriate course of action should settlement not be achieved. Adopting this mediatory approach ensures every conceivable settlement option has been explored before the commencement of any enforcement action and the issuing of expensive Return of Goods Orders.

Put quite simply, we connect better to collect better.

Features

  • Motor finance field visit recovery solutions
  • In-person visits
  • Comprehensive field visit reporting
