Although the national banks, lenders, and other financial services companies with whom we do business expect it, we have also found over the years that keeping the customer experience at the center of all we do leads to better outcomes for everyone: Our account holders, our clients, and our company. As a result, our compliance team participates in virtually every aspect of our business.
Consumer-Centric Compliance
But keeping consumers’ interests front and center is only one reason why we lead the industry in compliance practices. Another reason is that we know compliance is never complete.
Since our first portfolio purchase in 2002, we have continuously invested in the systems, technology and people to maintain our compliance excellence. What sets our compliance processes apart from others in the industry:
- OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY: Our data scientists and software developers have worked with our compliance team to create a series of custom tools that only we have. These ensure that all interactions with account holders comply with all federal, state and local laws, rules, and regulations. Some examples include:
- PrecisionHandler Solution® - This customer web-based application allows our associates to accurately and consistently analyze and resolve both written and verbal disputes through the use of artificial intelligence.
- Customercare SolutionTM - This specialized interface allows our associates to promptly provide customer centric resolutions to any account holders who may contact us with unique concerns or issues
- OUR PEOPLE: Since the beginning, our team of internal compliance auditors have conducted or participated in hundreds of audits of both our internal operations and those of our vendor and client partners. They have also worked with federal, state and local licensing auditors to ensure that our operations continue to meet and surpass expectations. With over 40 years of consumer financial services experience, our compliance auditors provide on-going confidence that our operations continue to meet the highest compliance requirements.
Bottom line: While other debt buyers may see compliance as a cost, we see it as our competitive advantage.
