Commercial Debt Collection Techniques and Compliance

Gain an understanding of how to collect outstanding amounts owed through judicial and nonjudicial methods.

When a commercial business defaults on a loan or other contractual agreement, and it is apparent that payment will not be forthcoming, time is of the essence to preserve the creditor's rights and begin the collection process immediately. This course will explore the collection process to understand how to preserve the creditor's rights and efficiently and effectively collect the outstanding amounts owed through judicial and nonjudicial methods. The material will review judicial and nonjudicial collection remedies and when each is appropriate. Failing to understand the available collection methods for commercial debts and to act quickly can cause delays and expenses that are unnecessary. This information is critical for commercial businesses and lending institutions to help them understand the various collection methods available and the situations when each should be employed.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to recognize the items to be addressed before and after the default.
  • You will be able to identify characteristics of Judicial versus Non-Judicial Remedies.
  • You will be able to define Receivership, and identify the advantages of having one.
  • You will be able to differentiate between Chapter 7, 11 and 13 Bankruptcy.
