How do you know when to write off a debt and forget about it?

Are you having a hard time letting it go?

Is your debtor out of business?

Business is tough enough without encountering customers who don’t pay, but it’s very difficult to run a successful company without offering credit. It’s a gamble, but one you probably need to take. And, sooner or later, you’ll get slow payers and no payers. It’s important that you know how to handle it as a business owner.

According to the Credit & Collections Kit for Dummies, by Steven A. Harms, “here’s what you should look for when deciding whether to pursue collection from an out-of-business customer:

1. Closed bank accounts
2. No remaining collectible accounts receivable (your debtor has no people or businesses that owe it money)
3. No remaining inventory, fixtures, or equipment
4. No vehicles
5. No real estate
6. No remaining personal property
7. No claims against insurance companies
8. No pending lawsuits as a plaintiff”

If you’ve considered the assets of your out-of-business debtor and can’t find any assets that can be reasonably collected to pay off the debt, it’s time to write off the debt and forget about it. If you think you’ve exhausted all your options, it may be time to speak to a debt collection attorney in Michigan about your case.
