The problem
What's costing your debt collection time and money right now.
Agents waste time on uncontactable debtors
Your collectors dial numbers that don't connect, send letters to old addresses, and chase people who've moved three times. 40-60% of contact attempts are wasted on bad data. Every failed attempt costs money and produces nothing.
Payment arrangement follow-up falls apart
Debtor agrees to a plan. Misses the second payment. Nobody notices for two weeks because the follow-up is manual. By then, the debtor's disengaged and you're starting from scratch. Broken arrangements are your biggest revenue leak.
Compliance monitoring is a constant risk
FCA regulations, vulnerability assessments, TCF obligations, call recording requirements. One missed step and you're facing a complaint or worse. Your supervisors spend more time auditing than coaching because the compliance burden never stops growing.
Portfolio segmentation is crude at best
You treat a 30-day overdue account the same as a 180-day account. High-value debtors get the same process as low-value ones. Without intelligent segmentation, your collectors work accounts in the wrong order and miss the ones most likely to pay.
Services for Debt Collection
Six AI systems designed for how debt collection actually work.
Compliance and procedure knowledge base
An AI trained on FCA debt collection guidelines, your internal procedures, and vulnerability indicators. Collectors get real-time guidance during calls. New starters handle compliant conversations from week one instead of month three.
Debtor communication and engagement
AI contacts debtors through their preferred channel at optimal times. Personalises messaging based on debt type, amount, and behavioural signals. Handles inbound queries instantly. Your collectors focus on the conversations that need a human touch.
Payment arrangement management
AI sets up payment plans, monitors adherence, sends reminders before due dates, and escalates missed payments within hours, not weeks. Broken arrangements get flagged and re-engaged automatically before the debtor disengages completely.
Skip tracing and data enrichment
AI cross-references debtor records against available databases, identifies updated contact details, and scores the likelihood of successful contact. Your collectors call people who'll actually answer instead of burning through a list of dead numbers.
Client reporting and portfolio acquisition
AI generates real-time collection performance reports for your clients: recovery rates, contact rates, compliance metrics. When you pitch for new portfolios, the data speaks for itself. Automated reporting replaces the manual spreadsheets your account managers build every month.
Collector training and compliance coaching
Your collectors use the AI systems during the build. They test the contact strategies, refine the scripts, and learn the compliance tools by using them. By launch, the system improves their conversations instead of replacing them.
Real-world applications
What this looks like in practice.
Intelligent contact strategy
New portfolio loaded. AI scores every account by collectability: debt age, amount, contact data quality, and behavioural indicators. Prioritises the accounts most likely to pay. Selects the right channel and time for each debtor. Your collectors start with the highest-value conversations instead of dialling down a list.
Automated payment plan monitoring
Debtor agrees to pay £50 per month. AI sends a confirmation, schedules reminders 2 days before each payment, monitors the account for receipt, and flags any missed payment within 4 hours. Re-engagement starts the same day, not two weeks later when the debtor's forgotten the arrangement.
Real-time compliance monitoring
Every debtor interaction gets checked against FCA guidelines in real-time. AI flags vulnerability indicators, ensures contact frequency limits aren't breached, and generates compliance reports automatically. Your supervisors review dashboards instead of manually auditing call recordings.
