OUR EXPERT TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS USED TO DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS:
Besides the customized letters, Auto dialer capabilities, credit reporting abilities (with client authorization) and litigation preparation process (with client authorization), our main focus and results are often generated by our experienced staff. While all of our managers have been with CCI for over 20 years, it is through them and their teams of collection representatives who through their direct dial campaigns, we are able to reach the recovery goals of both our clients and ourselves.
Our collectors work directly with your debtors with a tone of civility, respect and encouragement. They will often provide counseling on their existing circumstances of poor credit, how they might better manage their finances and how they can possibly re-establish positive credit. While most agencies only focus on volume driven collection techniques with mediocre recovery results, our objective is to not only collect the outstanding debt but to also ensure that we provide your client/debtor with a positive experience. The end result is the debt gets paid and customers are retained, often with a better ability to manage their future credit obligations. Our philosophy is to strengthen relationships with your customer and enhance the image of your organization. We have proven that high levels of success in debt collection can co-exist with high customer satisfaction rates.
