Collections Representative Resume Samples

A Collections Representative will collect payments from overdue or outstanding accounts. To retrieve money from debtors, the representatives have to undertake a variety of tasks that are mentioned on the Collections Representative Resume – getting in touch with customers that have delinquent accounts through phone, mail or personal visit; collecting payment from them, explaining available options; negotiating payment plans, updating records, submitting detailed reports to creditors about status of the delinquent account, and giving continued failure accounts to legal teams.

While having a thick skin is the main attribute that can distinguish these representatives from others, the following qualifications are as well expected – strong communication skills, researching abilities, strong negotiation skills, the ability to take appropriate steps and the potential to stay calm and composed while dealing with difficult customers. Formal education to the extent of a high school diploma or GED is sufficient.
