DOS AND DON’T’S OF COLLECTION LETTER


A Collection Letter should be written well before the payment due date so that it gives enough time to the debtor to arrange for the funds
It should be short and brief
The letter should only talk about the current payment due or about any pending payments only
Even though the creditor writes this letter, the tone of the letter should not be rude or insulting or humiliating or threatening. The creditor must not forget that the debtor has taken money under some compulsions


etc.
