The Role
Key duties of this role will involve calling business customers to chase in all outstanding monies via direct debits, credit/debit cards, cheques and BACS, resolving any payment disputes that have lead to non-payment. Where customers have failed to pay by our standard direct debit terms, you will investigate the reasons for this, re-iterate the benefits and overcome any objections to paying by Direct Debit with a view to re-instating their Direct Debit for future payments.

You will investigate any claims of financial difficulties and negotiate sufficient payment plans where appropriate. It will also be your responsibility to ensure that customer accounts are escalated properly to the suspension / ceasing of services, ensuring that customers are aware of the consequences of non-payment throughout this process.
