Before reaching out to a debt collector, it's essential to take a few important steps to ensure your process is clear and effective. Here’s what you should do to prepare:
First, if you have not received payment, set a strict deadline for when the money is due. It’s crucial to put this in writing, such as through an email, and ensure that all relevant parties are copied in. This creates a formal record of your demand and reinforces the seriousness of the situation.
Be clear about the amount that needs to be paid and specify the exact date by which the payment must be made. Transparency is key in these communications. Additionally, inform the debtor that if the demand is not met by paying the full amount by the deadline, the matter will be escalated. However, avoid revealing your specific intended actions, as this could give the debtor an advantage.
It’s important to recognize when you are being strung along with lies and false promises. At some point, it's essential to draw a line and take decisive action. Don’t allow the situation to drag on any longer; it’s time to move forward.
