Some cases are not collectible, and it's important to recognize those cases that can recovery monies owed. Some commercial debt recovery agencies will do a background investigation of the owner of the company owing the debt.

This is done to see how that individual conducts his private affairs. Many experts believe that is a window inside the way the person conducts their business practices. One thing that is checked right out of the gate is to see if the owner of the company has a criminal record. 

 

If someone has a criminal record or served prison time, that cuts down on the likelihood that the case is collectible. If a person has filed bankruptcies or been evicted is all figured into the equation of whether a case is collectible or not.

Trade reports are also accessed, to see how if there are negative reports or claims about the business. Filing bankruptcy is a big red flag when trying to collect accounts. That person knows how the bankruptcy laws work, and they know when they can file bankruptcy again.

Another area that is looked at is if there are any liens against the owner or company. Tax liens are normally paid before any other debt, so businesses or people with liens and or judgments are less likely to be a collectible account.

These are things that evaluated by professional Commercial Debt Recovery agencies. By doing this type of investigation, it will cut down on the time spent on cases that simply not collectible.
