Training & Compliance
Every
associate of P&B, LLC is considered an asset from day one. Our Human
Resources Department seeks individuals with prior experience in the accounts
receivable and customer service industries, verifying all referrals and
recommendations. A detailed screening is then performed on every employee
hired.
Once
an employee is hired, P&B, LLC structures and fine-tunes the collector’s
talents and skills to meet the company’s high standards. Each new
employee must participate in an advanced training program, consisting of
thorough education of the FDCPA and other rules and regulations applying to collection
industry standards and practices. In addition, several hours of
one-on-one instruction in “excellence of telephone salesmanship” are required
before a collector begins working independently.
Business
is distributed to the staff carefully and methodically via a process that has
been perfected through many years of research, using the latest in analytical
science and technology. After dividing a portfolio’s accounts into
several categories by analyzing a variety of factors, they are distributed to the
staff based on their individual skills and specializations. The result
has led to employees consistently exceeding their individual goals and
remaining motivated, focused, and satisfied. Indeed, P&B has been able
to attain one of the lowest turn-over rates in the entire industry. Most
importantly, it ensures achieving the highest possible rates of liquidation for
our clients on a consistent basis.
The P&B Compliance Department works full time on monitoring
and routinely auditing its staff. They work
to ensure that every account is documented after every transaction and/or
communication, creating a seamless audit trail. In addition, their team
of bilingual associates regularly monitors calls ensuring:
- FDCPA Compliance
- State Compliance
- Excellent Quality in the
Collection Process
- Cost Effective Time
Management
- Resolution
With an on-going training curriculum, all associates
are kept abreast of FDCPA and state compliance guidelines to ensure their
satisfactory status. P&B’s dedicated training department, through continued
and ongoing education, shows associates how to continually motivate themselves,
as well as instill new techniques to secure “lump sum” payoffs or secure a
payment plan in situations where one normally could not have been achieved.
Training efforts ensure that the team is supplied with the latest and most
technologically advanced tools such as: a letter communication system,
real-time skip tracing data, credit reports, and public record information.
