Inflation and tariffs are reshaping the debt and collections landscape in 2025. At Advantage Collections, we’re tracking how these economic forces affect our clients and consumers. Here’s what’s happening:
- Higher Borrowing Costs: Inflation-driven interest rate hikes make loans pricier, pushing consumers and businesses toward delinquency.
- Tariff-Driven Price Increases: New tariffs raise costs for goods, squeezing business margins and tightening consumer budgets, leading to slower payments.
- Stricter Credit Policies: Businesses are tightening terms to offset tariff and inflation pressures, accelerating collection referrals.
- Tech as a Lifeline: Automated payment plans help manage defaults as economic strain grows.
Stay proactive—whether you’re owed money or paying it back. We’ll keep you updated as the economy shifts.
