Debt collection is the process of pursuing payments on overdue accounts through lawful methods that respect the debtor’s rights.
Key steps include initial demand, verification of debt, negotiation, and, when needed, pursuing a court action to recover the amount owed.
Below are common terms used in debt collection to help you understand the process.
A formal written notice requesting payment and outlining the debt and potential actions if it remains unpaid.
A court order that determines the amount owed and authorizes collection actions such as wage garnishment or liens.
Amounts that are overdue and have not yet been paid.
A court-issued directive that directs third parties to withhold funds to satisfy a debt.
