Collectors need to maintain required work standards monthly as they work towards their monthly collection goals. This is accomplished by skip‑tracing and locating debtors on non‑performing accounts. Once debtors are located collectors need to articulate the benefit of paying their delinquent debts through their talk‑off skills. Dollars collected need to be in the form of Quick‑Collects, Money Orders, Cashiers Checks, Checks printed in‑house for current‑dated and post‑dated dollars or even cash. This money should equal the entire pay‑off on account, if not it needs to be for an approved settlement or payment plan. Collectors need to be keenly aware of Federal, State, and Local Laws governing Debt Collection Practices. They also need to be proficient in skip‑tracing techniques and know how to use current skip‑trace technology. #J-18808-Ljbffr The Wittern Group
