Do you have difficult debtors?
Are they using any reason not to pay you?
At Ross, Stuart & Dawson, we’ve seen it all. That’s why we’ve compiled some little steps you can take to make customers take you more seriously and potentially comply with your demands. One of the biggest factors is your approach. The correct approach can make the difference between getting paid and going to court.
Here’s how to deal with debtors who won’t pay:
Won’t Pay ‒ Debtors who won’t pay often create problems that they believe justify nonpayment. The problem could be real, but is usually invented by the debtor. Examples include: the products or services weren’t satisfactory, there was a breach of the contract, someone oversold them, etc. The best thing you can do is patiently listen. If their problem is actually valid, offer to fix it to their complete satisfaction if they pay in full. If it isn’t valid, politely tell them why. If they are still being difficult, offer a settlement for less than the full balance as an inducement to save money and resolve the issue without further action. If you go with a settlement, be smart when negotiating. Always start higher than the bottom line and never accept the first offer.
