CLAWSON, Mich. - Michimich -- What do you think is the best way to approach a debtor?

Did you know that hostility actually lowers your chance of collecting?

Below, we explain why non-hostile collection strategies work, the pitfalls of hostile methods, and how professional collection partners like RSD make recovery both effective and relationship-focused.

The Pitfalls of Hostile Debt Collection

Hostile or aggressive collection tactics—e.g. threats, intimidation, excessive pressure—may seem like they will "force" the debtor to pay, but they often create bigger problems. Here are a few such problems:

• Damaged Client Relationships – Even if payment is secured, hostility usually ensures the client never works with you again.
• Reputational Risk – Word spreads quickly. Negative experiences harm your brand and may deter new clients.
• Legal Liability – Aggressive actions can cross compliance boundaries, creating risk of lawsuits or penalties.
• Reduced Recovery Rates – When clients feel attacked, they're less likely to cooperate and more likely to resist payment altogether.

Professional, non-hostile collection practices are based on respect, communication, and problem-solving. They create a path forward instead of burning bridges. Benefits include:

• Preserving Business Relationships – Many clients do want to resolve their debts but need flexibility. Respectful dialogue keeps doors open.
• Higher Recovery Rates – Cooperation is more likely when clients feel heard, not threatened.
• Protecting Reputation – Businesses known for professionalism attract and retain better clients.
• Identifying Real Issues – A calm, solutions-driven approach can uncover disputes, oversights, or cash flow struggles that can be resolved.
