We are looking at strengthening our collection techniques for former tenants who have left owing money.
I am seeking recommendations for training organisations who will be able to deliver 'on site' training to about 50 staff.
Any suggestions of the best way to deliver this, organisations used and / or sources of information would be gratefully received!

Debt collection
Hi
Before I set up my own training company,I served as a City and County Councillor for 20 years. Debt collection in terms of housing arrears by former tenants is a huge write off in las.Why not get in touch with the Local Government Association and the Audit Commission. The latter group together housing providers inwhat they term “families” for purposes of performance indicators. You may find they have case studies AND examples of best practice and worse practice for the families.The Audit Commission often make recommendations for action in the case of the latter.Draw on this.

I guess you need an HR expert
I guess you need an HR expert and legal adviser for this recruiting process of your debt collection staff. I often remember that debt collectors are kinda annoying. But I learn enough that they are just doing their part and duty as a collector. So that was clear enough for me. No hurt feelings at all. The best thing to do is just to repay all your debts, so you do not have to be concerned about it. You can always get installment payday loans to help pay the debts off, and you can repay it over time. You will not have to worry about getting scammed anymore or about having bad credit.
