Since installation at Northstar Location Services Buffalo NY contact centers in October, the results were even better than expected. Aaron Castle, COO stated, “We were very aware of the application’s benefits prior to installation, however the immediate effects have transitioned into department-wide improvements, including increased employee morale and decreased customer complaints.” The call centers are now experiencing a 54% decrease in customer calls to their Quality Assurance Team (Resolve It! Professionals). Agents are managing escalated customers much more effectively through the use of the Castel Detect™, as its agent dashboard appears right on the agent’s screen. In addition, unresolved customer issues have decreased as well.  Castle adds, “This application has enabled our agents to better identify escalating issues which equates to more quickly resolving issues, collecting payments more efficiently, reduced call time and stronger agent/customer relationship.”

Miss a payment, maybe two and you may receive a call from your creditor. What if the only number you provided to your creditor at time of application was your cell phone number?

Most of, if not all, collection and predictive system companies are working on some sort of a program or application to identify and scrub for cell phone numbers to eliminate them from predictive and power dialing.  Penalties for using such are severe and enforced based upon recent TCPA rulings affecting creditor collection and bank account receivables businesses.
