The recovery of revenue from customers is paramount to the success of any business.
From time to time, most businesses encounter customers who are either slow to pay or simply refuse to pay. Unfortunately, debt collection is an unavoidable part of business.
Debt collection is the process of extracting money from customers who can’t or won’t pay their debts on time.
