What Is Debt Recovery?
Debt recovery is the process of pursuing payments of debts owed by individuals or businesses. It involves a series of steps to ensure that outstanding debts are collected in a lawful and effective manner. This can include initial reminders, formal demands, negotiation, and potentially legal action to secure repayment. Effective debt recovery is crucial for maintaining cash flow and financial stability, particularly for businesses that rely on timely payments from clients and customers.
