Accounts receivable collections are the activities a business takes to recover overdue payments from customers, including letters, calls, negotiations, and, if necessary, court actions to obtain a judgment.
A successful collection program typically includes case assessment, timely demand letters, communication with the debtor, negotiation for payment plans, and, when appropriate, filing and pursuing civil actions to obtain a judgment and enforce collection.
Below are terms commonly used in accounts receivable collections.

A formal written request for payment that sets a deadline for settlement.
