• Learnings from third party agencies how collections have changed since Covid19, with commentary on the WFH-work from home-environment.
• Practices commercial agencies can carry forward in a post-Covid19 world
• How and what process changes were made at the agency level
• Agencies’ effective connection with commercial debtors to maintain maximum recovery
• Regulatory compliance upkeep
• How best for a credit professional to discern if an account is truly commercial in nature or if it is consumer
• Insight on how agencies can best assist the credit grantor given transactions are being handled more on a “system to system” platform as opposed to “person to person”
• A first look at the Association’s analysis of account placement with third parties during the pandemic and what is expected in the next eighteen (18) months.
