Why you should attend:
1.Shaping the DCA and debt
purchaser market
Discuss with your peers what the future
shape of the market will be and which
major players will be left
2.Treating Customers
Fairly compliance
Understand the true cost, effort and
involvement in effective conduct risk
3.TCF as a brand
Gauge how organisations have been
using TCF compliance to maintain and
further their brand
4.Interest rate rise
Understand from Hugh Stickland, chief
economist at Citizens Advice what
an interest rate rise will mean for
repayments and collections
5.Hear from in-house heads of
collections
Heads of collections from Thomson
Reuters, Scottish Power, Southern
Water, QMH Hotels and Brighthouse
will outline their opinions on successful
collections practices
6.Technology within collections
Part of the UK’s largest
credit industry show
Technology is a divisive subject with
many call centre operators and
customer service managers favouring
their own approach – find the common
consensus within the industry
7.Educating customers and
collectors
Whilst there is an understandable
drive to educate customers, the need
to educate collections teams is also
apparent
Excellent event, well
organised, speakers who help
spark the imagination. All round
good event. I had a couple of new
people within my team join me
and they got a lot of knowledge
out of it!”
