Accounts receivable collection is the legal process used to recover money owed by customers after reasonable steps to collect have been attempted.
Key steps include sending demand letters, negotiating payment plans, filing civil actions, obtaining judgments, and enforcing those judgments within the law.
This glossary defines common terms used in debt collection and accounts receivable matters.
Amounts owed to your business by customers for goods or services delivered.
A formal written notice requesting payment within a specified timeframe before pursuing further action.
A court order confirming the debt and authorizing collection efforts.
A legal claim against a debtor’s property to secure payment.
Options range from proactive demand letters to civil actions, depending on debt amount, debtor responsiveness, and timeline.
For younger debts and smaller balances, a well-crafted demand letter or short negotiation can resolve the matter without court.
If the debtor acknowledges the debt or the records clearly support the claim, court action may be avoided.
