ID Analytics Collections Optics:
Fine Tunes Collections Efforts with Alternate Data Source

ID Analytics® Collections Optics™ collections scores leverage real-time consumer identity information to enable companies to increase the effectiveness of collections efforts by accurately determining the likelihood of a charge-off in the early stage and predicting the balance percentage of late stage delinquent accounts that will likely be repaid.

In today's economy, tried and true collections strategies are no longer as effective as they once were. Time delinquent and delinquent balance alone do not accurately indicate a consumer’s true ability and willingness to pay. An early stage account with a low-risk credit score is not necessarily going to self cure. And some accounts that appear high risk because they have gone several cycles past due may repay with little effort.

Collections Optics sharpens segmentations for early and late stage collections:

  • Early stage: separates those accounts likely to pay from those likely to roll or charge-off, enabling organizations to fine tune collections strategies to quickly realize return on investment while releasing bad accounts sooner.
  • Late stage: predicts the percentage of the outstanding balance that will likely be repaid. This helps determine which accounts should be kept in-house and which should be released to third-party collections agencies.
