Start with the account and its history.
Consumer collections concerns balances owed by individuals for consumer obligations. Tell us the account type, age, location, previous follow-up and any dispute. CBEOF reviews the records behind the balance before accepting a placement; medical patient accounts require a separate portfolio review.
We agree on recovery terms, reporting and payment handling for the accepted accounts. You’ll know how to report direct payments, corrected balances and disputes, and how returned accounts are handled. Business collections and routine invoice reminders are different services.
What’s included.
Document the consumer obligation
Identify the nature of the consumer obligation and provide the records supporting the amount claimed.
Describe account age and prior handling
Include account age, any prior placement and the industry when requesting intake and pricing review.
Review medical patient portfolios separately
Medical patient balances require a separately scoped portfolio review; do not assume they follow an undifferentiated collection offer.
Agree on account-change reporting
Agree how disputes, payments received directly by the client, balance adjustments, and returned accounts are reported.
What you’ll receive
- The acceptance criteria and accounts included in the placement.
- The required evidence and authorized client instructions.
- Activity, account-status and recovery reporting within the agreement.
- The agreed payment and remittance process.
- The route for disputes, account corrections and returned accounts.
