Collecting outstanding debt isn’t an easy process. If a consumer has allowed their obligations to go into delinquency they’re usually either experiencing significant financial difficulty, they’re grossly irresponsible, or they have no intention of paying. None of these situations are amenable to fast debt recovery. Companies will generally try to collect on their outstanding accounts internally before passing their most egregious cases on to an external debt collection agency.
