Overview of Debt Collection and Recovery One of the main challenges affecting businesses of all sizes and industries is accumulated unpaid debts. Unpaid debts can be detrimental to a company’s long-term growth, causing hindrance in its ability to invest and meet its financial obligations. Due to this reason, debt collection is of paramount importance and is often resorted to by businesses. Debt Collection is a cumbersome procedure. It requires a lot of time and attention. Debt collection or recovery is a process of recovering the unpaid loans by the consumers. A debt collection agency or debt recovery agent usually does it.

Debt Collection and Recovery Debt Collection is a process whereby the lender tries to recover the debt offered to its clients, whereas, in the case of Debt Recovery, the lender hires a third party or a debt collection agency to recover the unpaid debt on its behalf. Sometimes, security is given by the borrower to the lender in the form of a mortgage, but when that security can't be used as a means to pay back the debt, recovery becomes necessary. There are legal as well as non-legal methods to recover an unpaid debt. The legal methods include out-of-court settlement, civil remedy, and criminal remedy. The non-legal methods include direct contact with the borrower or sending recovery agents to recover the debt. Debt Recovery Tribunals and Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunals were established to entertain cases related to debt recovery in India. However, various legal prerequisites have to be met before initiating any form of debt recovery proceedings in India. For instance, under Order XXXVII of the Civil Procedure Code, a summary suit can be invoked only if the debt amount doesn’t exceed INR 10, 00,000 or the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code of India can be invoked only if the other party goes bankrupt.

Debt Mediation and Debt recovery In cases involving debt and conflict, mediation can be quite helpful in coming to a resolution where both sides can concur and accept a settlement. Both parties must approach the mediation to come to a resolution. That does not imply being willing to give in and accept anything to solve the issue, nor does it imply refusing to accept even the smallest of concessions. The mediator should be able to assist the parties in solving a reasonably simple commercial dispute within one or two days, at the most, so that the negotiated settlement can then be swiftly implemented. The mediation process will thus include an agreement on the payment terms. Legal Methods for Debt Recovery Out-of-Court Settlement These include Alternative Dispute Resolution methods like Arbitration, Mediation, and conciliation. It is a quicker and cheaper way to resolve disputes and recover your debts in an amicable way. These are quasi-judicial proceedings governed under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act of 1996. Civil Remedy An aggrieved party can file a civil suit in any court which has the appropriate territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction. Criminal Remedy An aggrieved party can file an FIR at the local police station. Thereafter, a criminal case can be initiated against the defaulter in the appropriate court having the jurisdiction.

Data Discrepancy The information most sought-after by the debt collection agencies is employment details and place of employment of the debtor. However, this information is not accessible and available in the public domain. Time-Consuming Due to too much information available in the public domain, it becomes time-consuming for debt collection agencies to sort the information and find the most relevant one.

Techniques for Debt Recovery Rescheduling the loan can be one of the techniques for debt recovery as it provides the borrower with a grace period to pay back the debt. This option can be adopted when the borrower doesn’t have any means to pay back the loan. Another technique is using persuasion and continuous follow-up with the debtor when the default is being made with mala fide intentions, and the borrower has the means to pay back the loan. Another technique to recover your debt is through an amicable out-of-court settlement. Debt recovery is also possible through a recovery agent who facilitates a successful debt recovery and, upon completion, receives a commission from the lender. Debt recovery through the disposal of collateral should be the last resort. Debt Mediation vs. Debt Collection Agency Within 90 to 120 days, you must choose between a professional mediation settlement to help you finalize an effective debt mediation settlement or engaging a debt collection agency for the recovery of debt. The approach of a debt collection agency is very different from that of a debt mediation service. To recover the dues, the debt collection agency pursues the borrowers and convinces them to pay their dues. On the other hand, a debt mediator acts as a middleman to sort out a debt dispute between the parties. The debt mediator shall reduce the due amount to a range that you and your customer can agree upon. Thereafter, the debt mediator shall arrange the amount to be collected periodically. Risk Mitigation and Legal compliance Debt recovery services have become an indispensable asset for businesses, irrespective of their sizes. Debt Recovery processes require a strict adherence to the various legal and regulatory aspects. Non-compliance with such regulations can lead to legal disputes, damage to the goodwill and reputation of the company, and, in some cases, legal penalties and damages. At Enterslice, we shall ensure legal compliance by staying up to date with the current rules and regulations, with the evolving legal structures, and also adhering to the debt collection regulations.
