Collections Assurance

Monitor the accuracy of the customer credit scoring process, collections, and dunning strategies

Continuous monitoring of the customer collections process

Managing collections is a long and complex process often requiring engagement from a variety of teams across the organization. The complexity of activities and a large number of people involved poses many of risks, such as 1) risk of compliance in the way of credit policies and the treatment applied to customers; 2) risk of effectiveness, as to what criteria is being used for calculating credit risk, which agencies should handle which debt package, amongst many others.

Moreover, operators are concerned about enhancing the customer experience throughout the debt collection process and ensuring a flawless and fair process.

Top 6 Key Risks addressed by Customer Collections Assurance

Lack of an integrated and accurate view of the customer
Customer data is key for every operator. Without access to multiple accurate data sources, it is impossible to know the customer to its full extent and predict the most suitable collections strategy. Moreover, errors in customer data may lead to wrong customer classification, which will later affect what strategies will be applied.
Over-reliance on one single control point
The consequence of having a multitude of systems to handle credit scoring and collections is that they often rely on data warehouse inputs to feed the scoring and dunning process. This lack of first-hand access to data may cause unexpected delays in data gathering or compromise ongoing processes that will use this incomplete data. 
Inability to measure collector’s productivity
Operators should be able to monitor and track the effectiveness of their teams’ collection efforts. As not all customers are equal, collections teams should invest their time and efforts according to customer value and business priorities to ensure the best possible allocation of resources.
Lack of consistent monitoring of risk strategies
Late payments may result from an inadequate risk analysis, which opens the door for customers to spend more than they may be able to afford. Customer Collections Assurance helps highlight this sort of problem by monitoring the accuracy of the customers’ entire credit and collections score, thus preventing bad debt.
Internal fraud and data manipulation
Customer data and usage are the main inputs in any collections process, and it’s based on this data that strategies, payment plans, and other decisions are made. The fact that this valuable information may be subject to human manipulation is something that operators should be aware of. Customer Collections Assurance ensures data integrity across the entire process and detects possible signs of fraudulent activity.
Poor fit of Debt Collection Agencies (DCAs)
The ability of each Debt Collection Agency may vary according to their particular abilities as well as the specific customer and bad debt type. By monitoring each DCA’s performance according to the debt packages they were provided, operators can evaluate which DCA is most suitable for any given debt package and leverage those specific skills to improve the level of collected revenues.

The importance of Credit Scoring audits

Credit scoring is an important function in the collections process, used to determine the level of risk of an individual during onboarding and acquisition. However, creating a holistic view of the customer in terms of credit risk is difficult mostly due to the lack of accurate data. Frequently, new customers provide corrupted or fraudulent data making credit scoring unreliable. RAID Collections Assurance enables operators to:
  • Audit the quality of data the system is receiving in order to monitor the accuracy of credit scores
  • Reconcile credit limit approved versus real risk level
  • Ensure risk evaluations are periodically monitored
