  • This will have a negative effect on the firm's cash flow position.
  • The firm may have to spend time and money demanding payment.
  • If they still don't pay up, the firm may need to take legal action (another large expense) - note that this would be done only if it was a very large bill, otherwise it would not be worth it.

How do you collect on a declined credit card when the customer refuses to return our collection phone call?

Collection agencies - to attempt to recover the money from the individual. the CA will want to see the documentation showing goods/services were received (receipt) and that payment was not (declined card documentation with persons name on it).


What is effective collection?

A company should set a good credit terms and set-up also a good collection process. An invoice will be prepared right after each service. It will either be sent by mail or hand carried to the customer. The customer will be required to sign as a proof that the invoice was received with the date on it to avoid any dispute. It is the duty of the accountant to monitor the receivables, or else the cash flow will all be tied up by the level of receivables. Invoices falling under 30 days are considered as current. If the invoice is not paid according to the agreed terms, it will be considered as "past-due". A follow-up by phone is needed. Suppose the customer, failed to settle their obligations, a letter will be prepared as a reminder. If the customer still unable to settle after receiving the reminder, a final demand will be sent personally with supporting documents. If the customer refuses to settle, it will be referred to a collecting agency. The collecting agency will be responsible to follow-up. If the collecting agency still unable to collect the outstanding account by conventional means, the company will be forced to have the overdue account written off or will seek legal advice if legal action or lawsuit is necessary just to recover the money. Sometimes there are companies will be stopping their services to their customers until the account will be fully settled.

Can a credit card company hold an authorizes card user responsible for a business account?

Possibly. If the business refuses to authorize the charges, the card user could be held responsible. If the card user signed an agreement of accountability, he will definitely be held responsible. Your best course of action is to try to work with the business who contracted the card to resolve this.


How can you get credit card charge off removed if you are just a user and the credit card company refuses to help you?

Write a letter of dispute to the credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). Be sure to clearly state that you never signed a contract/agreement accepting liability and that you do not meet the definition of "debtor" under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It would be a good idea to post excerpts from that law to back up your point. You may have to sue to enforce your rights. The primary card holder, who IS liable for this debt, can also take action with the CC company. They can request that your name be removed from the account.
