Still waiting on payments for debts owed from earlier in 2025?

The best time to contact a debt collector to get maximum recovery is 60-90 days within the invoice due date. The older a debt is, the harder it is to get the full return. Here’s the general breakdown of how the age of the debt affects the collection rate:

  • At Due Date: 94.9% collection rate
  • After 30 Days: 89.9%
  • 60 Days: 81.3%
  • 90 Days: 69.6%
  • 6 Months: 52.1%
  • 9 Months: 39.1%
  • 1 Year: 22.8%
  • 2 Years: 9.3%
