July 26, 2012 - PRLog -- Marlborough, Mass. -- American Profit Recovery, a collection agency in Massachusetts with additional offices in Michigan and North Carolina answers a number of questions from business owners and others about the ins and outs of resolving debt issues with consumers. How do I know a customer is not going to pay? One of the many popular questions in accounts receivables.

Many businesses fail to see the tell tale signs of a customer that is either unhappy with the product or service provided or customers that are heading towards delinquency. There are many signs that a customer is either going to pay extremely late or not pay at all. A few of the signs include:

Customers that have historically either paid late for products or services, have a history of being delinquent in their obligations or have credit history that shows they have historically managed their finances poorly are all clear indications of the credit risk a business could take on.

Customers that have not paid a business for their products or services and continue to make promises to pay are another credit risk for a business. Unmet financial obligations are a clear sign a customer is unwilling to pay a business on time or at all.

Returned or bounced checks and credit card payments declined are also a clear sign that a customer is either not going to pay or drag out future payments.

Customer cannot be tracked down: If the customer’s phone has been disconnected and/or mail to the client has been returned to the business owed money, it may be evident that the customer has moved, or is in even more financial difficulty.

“There are many signs a business can spot when it comes to late and non-paying customers,” states Jeff DiMatteo, a partner at American Profit Recovery. “As the age of an account is critical in the ability to resolve the matter, it is always good business sense to recognize the issue as soon as possible and obtain third party help before the bill becomes uncollectable.”
