The process of reconciling a past due account can be influenced by many factors:

  • Age of Debt
  • Was the product or service provided
  • How critical the service or product is to the business that purchased it.
  • The competitive nature of the industry
  • The due diligence performed on the account before placed.
  • The financial position of the business owing payment.

 

Age is a major factor in reconciling an account. According to data in the collection industry, accounts that are 90 days past due have approximately a 70% chance of being reconciled.

By the time an account gets to 1 year, the chance of reconciliation can be only a slim 10%.
