Best Practices

  • Send a reminder the day before (text/email).
    • Use the Bulk Texting & Email tool.

  • PTP Due Today β†’ confirm payments or follow up quickly.

  • Kept vs Broken β†’ outcomes by loan and collector (P2P report).

Performance Notes

  • ACH = contact day before (may take up to 3 days to clear).
  • Debit Card = same-day confirmation.

Key Takeaways

  • Recency = results (who is paying, who isn’t).
  • Use the P2P report daily to track promises and outcomes.
  • Watch for repeat broken PTPs β€” escalate appropriately.
