HONESTY AND TRUST CONTINUED.....
Debtors, creditors and good faith relationships
The relationship between debtor and creditor is a sensitive one, and it’s important to approach it from a perspective of honesty and trust.
Collectors need honesty from debtors. Is the debtor being truthful about when they plan to repay, and the reasons why they’re delaying payments?
Collectors also need to cultivate empathy. They need to understand the reasons why someone is falling behind in payments and work with the debtor to overcome those reasons.
This creates an ethos of trust, in which debtors know the collector is not just after their money, but wants to help them make the next payment in a way that aligns with the debtor’s situation.
Collectors need tools to assess the honesty of what is being said by the debtor – which can include social media analytics, voice/speech analysis in real time, and access to full financial records. Debtors need payment tools that work on the basis that they are trusted to pay what they can when they can, instead of repeated and inflexible demands on which they can’t help but default.
As a general principle, debt collection should not work on a premise of suspicion or distrust, but rather be built on an assumption of good faith by both parties. These assumptions are that debtors want to repay and that collectors are there to make that happen – not merely to hit their targets.
To be continued .......

HONESTY AND TRUST: Two key pillars of debt recovery and how to make the most of them.
Adam Smith, the pioneer of political economy and arguably the first modern economist, claimed that a certain level of trust is vital for any transaction to take place. If we can’t trust the butcher to give us quality meat, we have to inspect cows and abattoirs and slabs every time we buy any - which is ridiculous.
Without trust, we don’t have a viable economy. We need to trust banks to hold our savings responsibly - and banks need to trust us to repay what we borrow.
Follow us as we share insights on the above issues in subsequent editions.
