Collecting Commercial Debts Shouldn't Be Difficult

By Rob Sutter


I work in the world of retail and I've countlessly made the claim that my work might be the toughest in the world. What I didn't know, though, is that I should have been more aware of other positions. Retail calls for a person to multitask, so that they both communicate with shoppers and workers alike while carrying out jobs that are given to them each day. While my job may be tiring, I'd argue that debt collecting has a level of wear of its own. Debt collecting can be challenging, especially when it comes to collecting commercial debts themselves.

Staying in contact with the debtor is one of the key tasks of a collector and it's something that takes quite a bit of persistency. A collector must stay in close contact in order to make the act of collecting commercial debts a reality but sometimes it's challenging when the person on the other line does not wish to answer. One of the worst things that a debtor can do is refuse to answer the phone when they know fully well that a collection company like R.R.S. is on the other end. This act only perpetuates the risk of legal action being taken, so it's best to set one's fear aside and attempt to conduct business.

What about the instances when calls are answered without fail but the debtor who responds acts out irrationally? Despite what many people who read news stories on debt collecting may believe, it's not always the collectors that act out and it could be a matter of a misconception living up to its namesake. Debt collectors do not want to begin a quarrel with anyone and they only call so that they business is carried out without the risk of legal action being taken for one reason or another.

I think that the most demoralizing aspect when it comes to the debt collection business is the fact that so many negative stories exist on the Internet. It seems like for every uplifting news story I find on the Internet, there's at least ten that will bring down some spirits. Debt collecting is almost like infinite darkness in the eyes of the Internet with just small glimmers of silver linings present. The negative viewpoints on these agencies bring about heated stories, so much so that readers aren't left with many other options.

Those who work in collecting commercial debts definitely don't have the easiest jobs in the world and it makes my retail position appear that much more attractive. As much as I may detest some of the customers I'm forced to service, it's a simple quirk I could do without and not exactly spirit-breaking. A supervisor may only wish to bring me down a few pegs for no reason but I'd rather endure that treatment than have to put up with the kinds of troubles earnest debt collectors work through. As much as I respect those workers, the mundane world of 9-to-5 is strangely more attractively.
