To successfully influence the outcome for both the customer and company, limiting the escalation of arrears to litigation, with a satisfactory customer outcome.
Ensure compliance and adherence at all times to the 6 TCF principles, and all other regulatory requirements.
Contact all customers where potential hardship/vulnerability is identified and where the direct debit fails for payment collection.
Contact customers in arrears by telephone and/or in writing; through thorough relevant questioning establish the customer circumstances and reason for the payment shortfall and endeavour to reach a sustainable solution for payment and wherever possible avoid enforcement action.

Through case management, build and maintain the customer relationship for all customers in arrears building a financial profile whilst gathering information from the customer in order to negotiate a sustainable payment plan.
