The COVID-19 pandemic has undeniably altered the landscape of many industries, with debt collection being no exception. As we navigate through these changes, it’s crucial to understand how these shifts impact strategies and operations in debt collection. MCCI, staying at the forefront of these changes, has adapted its strategies to meet these new challenges head-on.
The Shift in Consumer Behavior
The economic impact of the pandemic has been far-reaching, affecting the ability of individuals and businesses to meet their financial obligations. A survey by Pew Research Center highlights that lower-income adults have been particularly hard-hit. This shift necessitates a more empathetic and flexible approach in debt collection.
Emphasis on Communication and Flexibility
Effective communication has become more crucial than ever. MCCI has focused on clear, compassionate communication strategies, acknowledging the hardships faced by many debtors. Tailoring repayment plans and offering flexibility can foster cooperation and increase recovery rates. Learn more about our communication strategies at www.mccionline.com.
