  • Utilizing knowledge of financial contract terms and Equifax reports to effectively communicate with customers and enforce contracts.
  • Diligently working through assigned NSF and A/R reports, maintaining detailed customer file notes, and efficiently managing follow-up systems.
  • Identifying potential defaulted leases and escalating to senior collectors as necessary.
  • Collaborating with supervisors and team members to review accounts, progress, and ensure AR delinquency remains within tolerance levels.
  • Providing bilingual assistance to the team when required and undertaking other duties and special projects as assigned by management.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, Excel, email, and basic internet usage.
  • Ability to interpret Equifax credit reports.
  • Exceptional organizational and time-management skills with meticulous attention to detail.
