Overview

Most financial service providers find that their collection efforts are inefficient relative to the experience of the global market, which indicates that efficiencies can be found across the entire collections lifecycle from pre-delinquency to write off and recoveries. If financial service providers with inefficient collections functions continue with their current collection strategy, collectable balances older than fifteen months will continue to provide minimal return. These financial service providers will also have difficulty in determining whether the cost of collection outweighs the return on these collectable balances.

Collections functions have not received the necessary investment required to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, and in so doing have reduced the ability to further increase profitability and performance.

Combining these concerns with new consumer regulation such as Treating Customers Fairly and the Consumer Protection Act and risk-based regulations such as Basel II and III has created the need for lenders to adopt a more risk-based approach to collections

In an effort to assist in realigning the collection and recovery function, Valoores has developed in’Debt Collection and Recovery solution. This approach, which encompasses both a quantitative and qualitative component identifies areas of improvement within the collections and recoveries space, as well as comparing completed accounts’ (i.e. non-performing accounts that have either cured or written-off) loss figures against industry peers. in’Debt Collection and Recovery involves the processing and transforming of default data for various purposes and by using a standard loss-given default (LGD) calculation to run the data, the losses experienced on the completed accounts and trends can be analyzed over time

in’Debt Collection and Recovery is a ‘centralized debtors’ allocation model’ to allocate delinquent cases to the right channel. It captures the details of each delinquent case and the channel and collector/collection agency to which it needs to be allocated. This data is made available to the collection work flow system, which delivers the details of the case assigned to each individual.
