$574 billion: That’s the estimated gap between tax liabilities and payments across government agencies in the U.S. Other unpaid debts such as public utility bills, parking tickets and speeding violations continue to rise. Realistically, with double-digit unemployment rates and thousands of commercial bankruptcies in 2020, millions of Americans may simply be unable to pay off debts anytime soon, if ever. To navigate this new reality, you need to properly prioritize your collections efforts.

Our Government Collections solutions help you access up-to-date, comprehensive information that can fuel better debt assessment and collection strategies. Details like:

• bankruptcy, incarceration
• whereabouts (living/deceased; military)
• contact details
• contact risk
• and more.

Go beyond credit reports to better understand and segment accounts. Rank-order accounts and allocate resources based on ability and likelihood of payment, urgency, most viable collection method, and more. Not only that, gain clarity on whether to lean on third party collections to better optimize your internal resources. Our portfolio management capabilities help you get the best out of your collections contractors by having them focus on the segments that make the biggest difference to your agency and elected officials. 

If you don’t know certain details about a debtor, you run the risk of illegal contact. Even the kind of data you use and the way you use it can run afoul of regulation. As a government agency, you’re held to a high standard for how you interact with constituents. But with a patchwork of Federal, state and local regulations, along with the rapid acceleration of data growth and change, it can be difficult to ensure compliance and support efficient, effective collections activities.
