When to Call in Collections: Timing Tips for Maximum Recovery

Waiting too long to hand off a delinquent account can tank your recovery odds. At Advantage Collections, we’ve found timing is everything. Here’s when to call us in:

  • 30-60 Days Past Due: Most debts are still collectible here. Act now, and we recover 70-80% on average (industry stat, ACA International).
  • 90 Days+: Risk Rises: The longer you wait, the harder it gets—customers move, businesses fold. Recovery drops to 50% or less.
  • Red Flags: If a client dodges calls or breaks promises, don’t delay. Early intervention saves headaches.

Timing isn’t guesswork—it’s strategy. Let us take the reins at the right moment and get your money back. When’s your next overdue account due for a nudge?
